What is the status of 2.5? Is there anyone who has a 2.5 kernel running on a mips(el) machine?

I have some problems with it and I'm wondering if they are shared before I put too much work into it.

I've heard that at least DECstation support is said to be broken/missing /whatever from 2.5. That didn't sound promising to me, unfortunately.

It might be better with the recent updates of the SCSI driver. I don't
feel like wasting my time on 2.5 until our tree is close to the Linus' one, though. I only apply patches that I prepare for 2.4 -- hopefully they are going to work.

Only O2 is using mips64 atm, so it's horribly raw and untested.
