Configure 8xx_io in 2.4.21-pre3

[James Don]

Wish I could help ... I have been mostly using a mvista source tree
though...

And I have never tried to switch kernel versions yet ;-)

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your suggestions. I had a working 2.4.4 (released by DENX)
kernel on my board, which has more stuff related to 8xx_io than
2.4.21-pre3. I don't know if those DENX-added stuff are necessary to
enable 8xx CPM or if the 8xx_io code in 2.4.21 is sufficient to make 8xx
CPM working. Probably I need to compare the code in these two versions
line by line.
