Hi,


This patch adds support for the IBM Netvista 8363/N2200 internet
appliance. Its a PC-like thin client based on NSC/Cyrix Geode GX1
chip with a CF slot and SDRAM additional memory socket. Firmware
is somewhat broken - it expects a file named kernel.2x00 with peculiar
ELF header values (object count has to be set to 1) on a ext2 filesystem
on /dev/sda1.

This is my first patch for OpenEmbedded, but I've been lurking this
list for quite a while. I suppose I could merge linux-netvista8363 recipe
to linux recipe but I am not sure if it's a better apporach when the latest
bootable kernel version is not recent (2.6.24.7). Please be gentle :-)
