The last known users of both of these sub-ports are done with them (Atmel since 8.2, Xscale maybe longer). The one Atmel product I'm aware of will never upgrade past 8.2. The Xscale stuff has not been used even longer in any serious way (since the 7 timeframe, though there were one or two possible single users). If there's no objections, I'll just remove. If there are objections, it will be easy enough to do under that umbrella. Warner
