} A. Does the MIPS version really work?
Yes, with a different kernel tree. We're working with the MIPS guys to
merge our changes in a way that 1) fits our needs and 2) fits general
Linux/MIPS needs. A kernel patch won't be required when we're done (just
like PowerPC).
Short answer, use the MIPS RTLinux kernel tree (not in the distributed
patch).
} 1. The MIPS version of arch_takeover tries to patch __save_flags_ptr.
} 2. The prepatched kernel does not have this symbol.
} 3. The kernel patch does not add this symbol.
} 4. MIPS arch.h declares this symbol as an extern.
} 5. MIPS arch.c uses the symbol but does not define it.
}
} So it seems that, for MIPS, 'insmod rtl' would result in unresolved
} kernel symbols.
I took a look at the ARM kernel tree. It more closely resembles
PowerPC/Alpha in organization. I'd suggest looking at the RTLinux PowerPC
stuff for a model.
