I guess the 2.6 port for h3950 is about 50% done. You can boot to a
shell prompt; touchscreen, LCD and serial work. Audio is not working,
but most of the driver code exists (thanks to the h2200/h4100 porting
efforts). Bluetooth probably works, but I haven't tested it.

The biggest piece of work that's left is to forward port the iPAQ sleeve
drivers from 2.4. Jamey did a bit of work on a bus abstraction for
sleeve devices last year, but I don't think anybody has looked at it in
a long time. Battery management is not yet implemented, but the h2200
people have most of a ds2760 driver written. MMC/SD is not supported
either, but I think a driver does now exist in 2.6 for the Toshiba SD
core used in asic3.

If you'd like to work on any of this stuff, that would be great. All
the code is in the kernel26 module in CVS.
