Maciej and I have a common conclusion to this meeting: it was probably
the the best meeting ever, at least for us. We did a lot of hacking,
and especially Maciej found quite a lot of time before and afterwards
to prepare/continue some stuff.

This is, there are some announcements waiting, but I won't let all of
them escape right now :-)

On the kernel side, it seems that most of the former patches are now
properly forward-ported to Linus's current source base. (Though I
couldn't test yet, because of a compiler bug. Matt Thomas gave me an
important hint two nights ago, I'd now be able to fix it.)  Theory is
that thereafter, only some linker script tweakage is needed.

Thats it from me. It's Maciej's task to announce the rest, because I
value his hacking a tad more important at the moment ;-)

MfG, JBG
