I should have explained it in full detail in my original message. :)

True but the I2C-specific portion I posted here applies to 2.6.5. 
I'm working on getting a full 2.6.5 patch out the door the next 
few days (or 2.6-rc if we have one by then).

> BTW, don't you intend to rename i2c-ixp42x.c to i2c-ixp4xx.c as well?

Yep. The easiest way to do this with BK, is to 'bk move i2c-ixp42x
i2c-ixp4xx' and than apply the patch on top to rename the references
to ixp4xx in the "new" i2c-ixp4xx.c.
