This made me realise that there are two old OpenRISC patches floating around that hasn't been applied to mainline. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/142511/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/142510/ Apart from that I'm not experiencing any problems on this arch. It brings me to another question though, would it be possible to get a custodian tree for OpenRISC?
