+[PATCH] Enable write buffer coalescing
+
+RedBoot is disabling write buffer coalescing before giving the hand to
+linux. As there's no place in the kernel reenabling it, the performances
+are poor (see
+http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20080308.225920.2ae2af55.en.html).
+This patch reenable it.
