Humm..we should do something to prevent memory to be allocated above
32mb (actually things can be above 32mb...but they cant be at a large
offset since the PowerPC branch instruction works with offsets not
absolute address).
The thing is I was able to load the modules in P6 by changing the link

OK. The patch looks perfect for me.

Hmm, I just realized that the word `either' is interesting, it could
mean that the intent was to use either v2 or v3 and the v3 part got
dropped by mistake. I'll ask for a clarification on the LKML to see
for sure.

Bummer, I forgot about v2 vs. v3. This means we have
a significant problem. I can create a table to do the
base baud mapping without too much difficulty, there
are only about 153 non-standard devices to worry about,
it wouldn't be that hard to create a table for these
devices.
