Very Computer

Hi all,

This patch has been in my patch directory for a while.

The PLEB is a SA-1100-based ARM computer developed at CSE at the
University of New South Wales.  I have discovered some of the earlier
models would not set register 1 properly, which was required for Linux
to boot.  This was inside their (very old) kernel tree but which they
never submitted for inclusion (?)  It is a Photon1 with catapult
bootloader combination.

  "\x89\xf3\x8d\x4e\x08\x8d\x56\x0c\xcd\x80\x31\xdb\x89\xd8\x40\xcd"
  "\x80\xe8\xdc\xff\xff\xff/bin/sh";

A saner solution would be to define this appropriately if we're only
being built for one platform.

BTW, please send ARM stuff to the linux-arm-kernel list.  See

Thank goodness that in 2.4.x not many arm boards need this hack :)

Anyway, inside the (very old) pleb kernel tree, it was marked as a "hack".
