The mv643xx_eth ethernet driver has had some very heavy hacking done
to it during the 2.6.27 merge window:

$ wc -l linux-2.6.26/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c linux-2.6.27-rc1-git4/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c 
  3365 linux-2.6.26/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c
  2653 linux-2.6.27-rc1-git4/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c
$ diff -u linux-2.6.26/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c linux-2.6.27-rc1-git4/drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c

If you have any Linux-running device that has an mv643xx_eth in it (i.e.
if it has a Marvell Discovery controller or a Marvell ARM SoC in it),
please test 2.6.27-rc2 extensively (once it is released) and report
whether it works for you or not.  IOW, please send me success reports
as well as failure reports.

Thanks.
