XScale Port

[Bari Ari]

We're starting back up a LinuxBIOS port to ARM with the Xscale 
processors. The port should make it easier for anyone using the PXA, 
IXP, IXC and IOP Intel parts in the future. We're going to be looking at 
also supporting PCI-PCI bridges (transparent and non-transparent) and 
PCI southbridges that are used in the x86 PC world.

I'm interested in what, if any graphics controllers were used and 
supported via the PPC port of LinuxBIOS. Were any PC type graphics 
controllers used (eg. ATI, Silicon Motion) and how were they supported 
for init., driver etc.

The bridge code should pretty much just work in freebios2.  A really weird
bridge might need some non default routines but basically things should work.
