Have tested this series on OMAP4430 and OMAP3430. Don't know if it helps to push some of these patches to be part of rc cycles. At least the SMP specific fixes should get merged otherwise, builds like omap2plus_defconfig won't be running right configuration on SMP machine.

It's _too_ _late_ in the rc cycle for a fix of this size. As I've said
(several times) it was only possible for rc1. That boat has been missed
as we're now on rc4. We could see 2.6.38 in as little as two weeks time.

is too big.

Ok. Sorry about delay in testing out these patches.

There's still the outstanding question over:

ARM: v6k: use CPU domain feature if we include support for arch <
ARMv6K

which remains unsettled.

I think it's probably going to be better to _purposely_ break the OMAP
build when it covers v6 and v7 CPUs in these kernels as I don't think it's
sanely fixable given where we are. Again, that's something I _did_ point out at the time.

Any alternative possible other than breaking the omap2plus build? It's quite useful to have one build which covers majority of the omap machines.

Regards,
