wuh ? i dont need all the driver from the generatet bsp files ? what
about the gpios and leds  ?

i compile the kernel with a self made cross toolchain, not with the edk.
until now i copied the bsp files into the kernel tree (modfied some
defines) und compile with "make zImage". But know with the linux_2_6
option there is some more stuff in the bsp directory and i don't know
what to do with :)
