Hello We have a board based on a MPC850SR that I want to submit for inclusion to the main tree. Currently we work on the stable 2.4.19 branch.
The thing is that this board in kind of peculiar. For example there's a driver for the multichannel controller so that means that no serial port is available after booting. That required to include the netconsole patch by Ingo and make it work without being a module. Given into account the scarcity of the dual port RAM under such conditions I've added support for a malloc like interface for DPRAM use, after taking into account the uCode patches and any holes left over by the enabled peripherals. As you can see there is no chance in hell of getting these included as they are. How should I go about this given the feature freeze for 2.6; but the 2.6 tree is too unstable for us. Any suggestions?
