this (from 3.6) does not work:

-       mtdcri(SDR0, *sdr_addr, upper_32_bits(res.start));      /*HIGH
addr */
-       mtdcri(SDR0, *sdr_addr + 1, lower_32_bits(res.start));  /* Low
addr */

The good old file (which works) is this:

+       SDR0_WRITE(sdr_addr, (u64)res.start >> 32);      /*HIGH addr */
+       SDR0_WRITE(sdr_addr + 1, res.start & 0xFFFFFFFF); /* Low addr */
+

I will be on the road from tomorrow for a week or so, but maybe I can
isolate the exact lines which break it. I can also try a newer compiler
to see if this changes anything.

Is there someone out there with a kilauea board who can boot a 3.6.
mainline kernel with a default config with a rootfs over nfs?
