I see of the 36 bit patch in oss now, but not the whole thing. Is Ralf
waiting for you to fix the problems in tlbex-mips32.S? Are those
problems endian related or something else? I tested the pcmcia driver
in BE mode, and that driver uses the 36 bit code, so I thought it's
endian safe ...

Thanks for syncing up the oss tree! I was afraid that if you're sending
independent patches some of the sourceforge work would get lost.
