Thanks Thomas, may I take this moment to poke you about a nother issue I 
don't quite understand how to resolve/figure out.


I made the realtek target work with the GENERIC_MIPS_KERNEL, but only if 
I disable SWAP_IO_SPACE[0].

While I could act all smart and ask what this is for, I better ask, why 
is this concidered 'generic'. The comment in mangle-port [1] mentions 
'sane hardware'. I don't know what is considered sane here, as the 
number of targets following generic mips seem to be around 5.

So any pointers (other then doing SWAP_IO_SPACE if !REALTEK_SOC, which I 
have now) would be appreciated
