Right, having addressed as many review comments as I possibly can, I've
rebuilt and booted it on the platform - and the good news is, it still
works _but_ I don't have enough support in the "mainline" kernel that
I'm testing for anything to make use of any of the interrupt support in
this patch set - so I can't actually test those changes.

I'm going to drop the interrupt patch temporarily as it's unnecessary
for what I want to do, which will be one less patch to worry about.

I still need a resolution between you and Hector over the smc_key
issue - specifically, do I pick up the patch that adds support for
%p4ch, or do we re-architect the smc_key thing and also in doing so
get rid of the need for your "endian conversion" thing.

Given that Hector has rejected some of your comments, I now need to
back out those changes that resulted from your NIH comments.
