[jornada] current status of jornada 820 port

Basically, I've gotten blob to work (loaded from hpcboot),
and understood why the kernel was constantly being corrupted:
some device is writing through DMA to 0xc005c080,
right in the middle of the place the zImage and/or kernel is usually loaded.
                        The horror!
Now you know why I am so pathetically far behind in porting the kernel.

I'll dig through the SA-1100 manual to find out which device to disable.
If you have a hint, tell me.
Alternatively, I'll load the kernel higher in memory.

After that, I hope things will be easier.

As usual, my current stuff (my own patches, documentation, good URLs) is at:
        ftp://Samaris.tunes.org/jornada820/linux/

I didn't prepare an updated kernel patch yet, since I still am struggling
with the bootloader, but will gladly code and documentation share with
anyone who'd help me port Linux to the damned (and damnedly sexy) beast.

Yours freely,
