Using cvsweb examine all changes made to ixp425 and nslu code in the
20080426-20080512 window. One example change was made on April 27 to
ixp425_intr.c from revision 1.18 to 1.19. I have included the link.

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/arch/arm/xscale/ixp425_intr.c?only_with_tag=MAIN

I guess it would be easier to build April 27 and or 28 and test the images.
