Well... Partial success...

The kernel does boot, but then panic's when trying to mount the root fs.

All my development boards are setup to pull the rootfs from a tftp server
and then use root=/dev/ram as the rootfs.  This kernel must be missing something
for that to work.

Regardless, the kernel _does_ boot so the phys offset is correctly being
worked out at run-time and the memory configuration looks correct so the
atags offset must be working.

So, as far as the ep39xx goes, for this patchset you can have either of these:
