I already compiled a list for files related to all of the architectures under discussion, but it will certainly help to have a patch from you as well, then I can see if one of use missed any files. I'm looking forward to your patches for the SHARC ARM platform, I was already wondering about why we don't already have that platform in Linux. Let me know if you need any help getting that port ready for inclusion. One more question: I see that there are a number of drivers that are only used on blackfin today. Do you know if any of those are shared with SHARC and still needed, or can we remove everything related to blackfin? Arnd
