to fit into any other patch.

OpenRISC Linux
==============
This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
website http://openrisc.net

Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
===================================================
In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
in place are outlined here.
1) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.net. Instructions for building
a toolchain can be found at:
http://openrisc.net/toolchain-build.html
2) or1ksim (optional)
or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
git clone git://openrisc.net/jonas/or1ksim-svn
cd or1ksim
./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
make
make install
3) Linux kernel
Build the kernel as usual
make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
make ARCH=openrisc
4) Run in architectural simulator
Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
incantation:
sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminology
===========
In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
to more or less specific processor implementations:
openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor

History
========
18. 11. 2003 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
initial port of linux to OpenRISC/or32 architecture.
all the core stuff is implemented and seams usable.
08. 12. 2003 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
complete change of TLB miss handling.
rewrite of exceptions handling.
fully functional sash-3.6 in default initrd.
a much improved version with changes all around.
10. 04. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
alot of bugfixes all over.
ethernet support, functional http and telnet servers.
running many standard linux apps.
26. 06. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
port to 2.6.x
30. 11. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
lots of bugfixes and enhancments.
added opencores framebuffer driver.
09. 10. 2010 Jonas Bonn (jonas@southpole.se)
major rewrite to bring up to par with upstream Linux 2.6.36

The OpenRISC Linux port is fully functional and has been tracking upstream
since 2.6.35. There are, however, remaining items to be completed within
the coming months. Here's a list of known-to-be-less-than-stellar items
that are due for investigation shortly, i.e. our TODO list:
-- Implement the rest of the DMA API... dma_map_sg, etc.
-- Consolidate usage of memblock and bootmem... move everything over to
memblock.
-- Finish the renaming cleanup... there are references to or32 in the code
which was an older name for the architecture. The name we've settled on is
or1k and this change is slowly trickling through the stack. For the time
being, or32 is equivalent to or1k.
-- Implement optimized version of memcpy and memset
