I can repost for review, if you like.

The only objection I received last time, IIRC, was that I proffered it 
as a "generic" API but only provided support for a couple of AT91 
parts.  I haven't had much time to add other support, so I haven't 
pushed for inclusion.

I would be happy to coordinate the development/migration of support to 
the API.  I can still do the AT91 parts and probably PXA, maybe 
OMAP3430/Beagleboard.  But I would need others to help me with the rest.
