What is the time frame?

I think I have IXP425 mostly in shape - my own boards work, and IXDP425 
boots up and basically works. PCI is still a working area: I pulled out 
most of the old, IXP-specific code and changed the PCI code to use 
u-boot's PCI infrastructure.

This works fine for configuration, and I can dump and modify memory (eg. 
the bootrom on a E1000 card), but I can't get any of the ethernet 
drivers to work - possibly due to endian issues, but this might take 
some time to sort out.

Would it be OK to commit this as-is, knowing it may require some further 
fixups? At least it does work better than before.

Otherwise, I could leave out the whole PCI area and only provide patches 
for the boards without PCI, leaving IXP PCI in its current broken state.
