We're happy to make it available.  Once you pull this code into your tree, 
there's a lot more coming.

Kim Phillips is out today, so I'm going to address your concerns in his stead. 
I can make the changes, but they won't be posted until after Kim reviews them.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes, we can do that.  I agree that the current code base is a little messy 
because of so many board-specific files.  We already have plans to address that, 
but again, we'll start work once the current code has been pulled.

That's how I was planning on doing it.

I'll check.

As I mentioned in my other post, this code is for the LBLAWAR1 code in start.S. 
  That code assumes that CFG_FLASH_SIZE is at least 1.  I'm not aware of any 
83xx board that has less than that much flash, but you're right - it is 
possible.  If you like, I can provide an enhanced version of this code to 
support flash sizes less than 1MB, but I would prefer to do that after you pull 
our current code.

I've never seen these, but I'll look into it.
