kernel support of MPC8XX series

[Leonard Ye]

Wolfgang,

Thanks for your information.  For the embedded system that I am going to
develop, kernel 2.4 and PCMCIA is a must.  Have you get them working on
MPC8XX platform, especially MPC855?  I have read the HOWTO, it just tell me
MPC8XX is support without any specific information.

Regards,
Leonard Ye
