The issues I mentionned are not also present with CONFIG_IPIPE=no,
so it is just that the 3.0.15 kernel does not have everything for my board.

But unfortunalely I do not have access to the repository of the vendor,
but only to a bz2 snapshot of their kernel.

I wonder if the right method would be to use git to merge Ipipe to the
3.0.35_12_09.02, and then bring back the BSP that I have isolated as a patch
