I'm afraid to try it.  I don't have any jtag hardware.
(If you know of any that will work on Linux for a 10-pin
jtag (probably for OpenOCD -- something on Debian would
be helpful, that will support the cpu).

One reason I'm afraid is that the kwbimage.cfg file from
the factory is different from the stock sheevaplug
kwbimage.cfg.  (It also seems to be different from the
kwbimage.cfg in the current pogo_e02 target.)

FYI, the "example" patch I sent here:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-July/129182.html
includes the kwbimage.cfg file I've verified against
the factory pogo_e02 values -- except that my file
includes
  DATA 0xFFD01500 0x00000000	# CS[0]n Base address to 0x0
which was not in the original but is in the
sheevaplug's kwbimage.cfg file.  It seemed
a good idea to add this.

The main point of the "example patch"
was to use a different kwbimage.cfg file
while retaining the rest of the sheevaplug
code.

Thanks for the help.
