first Successful x50v boot

I'm pleased to announce the first successful (well, proven successful at
least) boot of the linux kernel on a dell axim x50v.

USB networking seems to work, but I can't prove it since I don't have a
serial cable that also has USB on it :-/

the SD/MMC driver looks like it works, at least it shows a valid device,
but I haven't gotten it to mount yet -- I'm pretty certain that this is
due to a kernel problem, not anything serious. I should be able to test
this more tomorrow.

Framebuffer does *not* work. I need to learn more about how
framebuffers work in linux and learn more about the 2700 graphics
controller, and then I'll see if I can write a driver for it. I was
hoping the vsfb driver would work, but I haven't been able to make it
work as of yet. Again, something I'll play with tomorrow. (no time today)

Anyone with the experience to help at this level, please let me know. I
could really use the help. Most things for the x50 and x50v are the
same, but framebuffer in particular I want to get working, and fisherss
can't help me much there =]
