unhh branch

Dear all,

I just created a unhh branch on the jornada820 CVS.

I attempted to move away from the handhelds.org kernel, to the
official linux ARM kernel. That means kernel 2.4.27-vrs1 and 2.6.11.8.
I also tried to merge the latest fixes I had from matan and oleg
(which is quite old). I got the kernel to compile; however, at boot
time, hpcboot refuses to load the kernel, so I must be doing something
wrong. Since I couldn't achieve a kernel that was better than what he
have, I created a branch on CVS instead of committing to the main
tree. Note that the main tree may not work properly, because it checks
out the latest CVS from hh instead of a known working version, and
this is an opportunity for bit rot.

Maybe one of you will debug what I did, and get a working version of a
2.4.27-vrs1 kernel for jornada820, with improved drivers and a maybe
working usb (since I included matan's usb code). For instructions
regarding CVS branches, see:

Note that the branch name is unhh.

Happy hacking!
