This series of patches makes booting from CF on my PXA255 device. Thanks Tejun.

Will these patches make 2.6.16?

Unfortunately, this patchset has some pending issues and probably should be spinned one more time with another approach, although I'm currently not very sure what the another approach should be. :-(

I'll try to do something.  Thanks.
