I second that motion!

There are a few minor quibbles I have with Sylvain's implementation (it
seems to have ditched some perfectly sound ideas of the original API plus
additions made by bplan for using the device tree to resolve tasks, in
favour of making the API entirely driver-dependant, and Linux-dependant
(it trashes any existing device table) also it has a few "5200-specific"
features like disabling task prefetch (errata not present in 5200B onwards).

It needs some looking at. But, this can be merged in my opinion, we can
just throw it to the list right now, and take the niggles to the list
and have a discussion about it..

In the absense of one guy hammering at the code let's just get 20 people
to review it, right here, with a new submission..
