Re: [Ltib] Try to patch Kernel-2.6.25

[Kurt Mahan]

There are ~90 patches that are applied to the stock 2.6.25 kernel to
produce a Coldfire V4 kernel.   This kernel (and the user filesystem)
are built/tested with the most recent public release of the CodeSourcery
toolchain (4.2.125).

We haven't released a 2.6.25 BSP for the 5445x yet but it is in the
pipeline.

The 2.6.25 BSP for the 547x/548x is in the final phase to get it released.
