Now I'm setting up similar dev environment by chance; Cortex-A9 MPcore,
slightly old kernel (say .31 or .32), and with smsc911x.c Ethernet
driver required [1].

I'm auditing the required patches right now, and very interested in
above patch, but it seems that blob got lost these days :-(

Do you still have the patch, and would you mind sharing it with me?
