Why can't we keep those two platforms separated? Is there really a lot of shared code between SSB and HND/AI? It's true that there's currently a lot of device functionality built into ssb. Like pci bridge, mips core, extif, etc... If you take all that code out, you're probably not left with anything. So why do we need to replace or merge SSB in the first place? Can't it co-exist with HND/AI? -- Greetings Michael.
