Hello, all. Despite the hardware-inflicted setbacks (my yeeloong fried
right before the mid-term), Yeeloong port is now functional. Both serial
and local (keyboard + screen) work. Real Time Clock is working. Internet
is working. USB controller on PCI is working. Userspace is working.

Remaining issues:
1) Disabled cache. The reason are peculiar properties of L2 cache. I
actualy have the code to fix it but I'm not sure to hit GSoC deadline
about it.
2) Only 256 MiB of RAM are supported. Should be easy to fix once 64-bit
parts are in.
3) No Geode support. So no IDE, 2 of 3 USB ports or audio. These
components are actualy pretty standard, one has only to add support for
MSRs.
4) No power management. Wasn't planned to have it implemented during GSoC=
=2E

Not tested:
1) Touchpad. Never connected to my laptop during developpement because
to use it one has to close front lid and so cut from serial connector

3rd party developpements  which will improve Yeeloong support:
1) X.org support. The required card is already supported in latest
x.org. So it's a question of importing last X.org and testing it.
2) 64-bit developpement. Currently if I compile 64-bit kernel it
contains only 64-bit imgact. Imposing only 64-bit binaries is suboptimal.=
