The first thing is to get a working console.  Can you get the
kernel to write out over the serial port?  Do you have an ICE
or JTAG debugger?

Next you get to do is write a pmap for the 8260.  Since
the 8260 is more similar to the ibm4xx rather than the oea,
you might want to start with that pmap.

Then you start on machine dependent code.  what buses does
it have?  You'll have to attach them and their devices.

What interrupt controller does it use?

etc.
