Correct, no patches to support 410 have been submitted to either the
u-boot or linuxppc mailing lists as far as I know.  You'll need to get
the patches directly from Xilinx.  I do know that they exist, but I
have not worked with them at all as I don't have access to an ML410.

There are a number of Xilinx folks who hang out on this list,
hopefully one of them will see your question and reply.
