Note that the GuruPlug ships with a broken uboot, which uses the wrong
machine identifier. To use a mainline kernel, you must munge the kernel

The phrase "the kernel we're working with" caught my eye. Which kernel
are we talking about?

(I've heard but have not verified that the Kirkwood and OMAP patch sets
used to be pretty much mutually-exclusive; I haven't tried to build a
unified kernel and hope this has been fixed).
