-#   kernel will run on, ixp4xx[lb] for generic kernels (le or
-#   be).  Controls the package architecture of the ipk.
-# IXP4XX_MACHID - if set the kernel will be forced to use this
-#   machine id and be forced to LE on LE systems - please always
-#   remember to override IXP4XX_SUFFIX if this is done, the kernel
-#   will simply not work on other machines.
-# IXP4XX_LEFIXUP - if set prepend the LE fixup code to the kernel
-#   and byte swap (quad word) the whole kernel image for a BE
-#   boot loader
-#
-# If you set CMDLINE_ROOT you should *also* change IXP4XX_SUFFIX

+A more robust test for swapped RedBoot FIS directory partitions.  This
+changes the test to check the flash_base value for the FIS directory,
+since we know where the FIS directory base is we can work out whether
+the flash address stored in the directory itself is byte swapped under
+most circumstances.  If the value is 0 the directory is at the start
+of the flash and the test fails.  In this case the fallback is to use
+the original test made slightly more robust.

+Add EEPROM notifiers
+
+These help board level code by allowing a callback when EEPROMs are
+loaded, this permits system level configuration to be loaded from the
+EEPROM.  This is particularly useful when the ethernet MAC ids are
+stored in EEPROM and when the ethernet hardware is generic (so it
+has no board level knowledge), then the MACs can be loaded into
+the 'maclist' code and read out by the ethernet config.
