That's a bit of a surprise.  I've been working against -mm, so I hadn't 
noticed that it wasn't in mainline.  I had assumed the name was old and 
historical given how inaccurate it is.  I wonder what patch it's part of...

Good luck.  The PDA/CPU startup stuff is all very touchy (I took your 
advice and had good success debugging it with simnow), but once you're 
past that it either works or it doesn't.
