It looks like those patches are against the nathanw_sa branch, right?
On either sbmips or pmax I can't get past starting init - both fail
with:

	trap: TLB miss (load or instr. fetch) in kernel mode
	status=0x7f03, cause=0x8, epc=0x0, vaddr=0x0
	pid=1 cmd=init usp=0x7fffeca0 ksp=0xd2ad9ec8
	Stopped in pid 1.1 (init) at             0

I haven't looked too far into the cause of this yet.

What mips machine(s) and what vintage nathanw_sa branch are you using?

Simon.
