Xilinx XPS_LL_TEMAC vs PLB_TEMAC

[Stephen Neuendorffer]

Basically, git.xilinx.com has a tree with most of the xilinx-related
support already integrated and ported forward to a current kernel.  It
also includes ongoing work to unify microblaze and powerpc device
drivers through flat device trees.

See:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org/msg28690.html

To use the git.xilinx.com tree you should *not* generate the driver code
directly into the Linux tree.  Instead, you should generate the driver
code in a dummy directory and copy
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xparameters_ml*.h into the kernel tree.

The BSP generation process is designed older 2.6.10-era kernels and will
not work with recent kernels.
