First non-garbled output from Linux on bobcat TXRX:

There is a lot that comes out before that, but it's garbled.  I think
maybe the sibyte errata 1956 WAR code for the DUART bug that is in the
kernel might be hurtin' -- it's a little bit different than the way it
was done in our code.  I'll probably try that next.

I had to disable SMP to get this to come out ungarbled, I don't know
why that would have anything to do with it.  I had to write a little
bit of code in the memory managment section of the sibyte specific code
to get the kernel to compile (and work) in non-SMP mode -- I guess no
one ever tries to use a sibyte in uni-processor mode??  Seems a little
odd.

Cheers,
