I built a dp264 specific kernel and its working fine on an XP1000
(EV67 arch).  Just built a generic kernel (as that's probably a more
important test) and that is also working fine on the XP1000.

I also built a titan specific kernel to test on an ES45 (SMP EV68
arch) but that OOPSes early in the boot process with a kernel null
pointer access.  I suspect that has nothing to do with your patches
as I have a recollection that I have seen that OOPS before. So I
tried the same generic kernel that I have running on the XP1000 but
that fails to unpack at the initial boot stage (!) with:

aboot> 9
aboot: loading uncompressed vmlinuz.test...
aboot: loading compressed vmlinuz.test...
aboot: Can't load kernel.
  Memory at fffffc0000310000 - fffffc0000f45df7 (PHDR 0) is Busy (Reserved)

unzip: invalid exec header

Cheers,
Michael.
