XIP_KERNEL isn't supported on anything past ARMv5 though. I don't like the case for errata though - we want these errata to be handled by the board firmware, not by the kernel, and we don't want to make it any easier for people to ignore that fact. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
