MontaVista 2.6 Kernel support for Xilinx ML40x

[Rick Moleres]

Note that Xilinx plans to update the MV drivers to support the latest IP
in EDK 8.2.2 (due out around October), and these drivers would be part
of the BSP generation process of Platform Studio.  Sorry, the timing of
the MV ML40x work and our EDK 8.1.x release was such that MV had no
choice but to use older IP and drivers.

I too had high hopes when I heard an LSP for the ML40x was imminent, I
nabbed it and was disappointed to find that their drivers still only
support relatively old versions of the Xilinx IP.  It would seem that
they are still creating the design they ported to with EDK/ISE v7.2
rather than the newer 8.1 or 8.2 with updated IP libraries.  This is
from the xparameters_ml40x.h file they distribute.
