I have no idea why it worked the first time b/c this:


> +     if (request_mem_region_exclusive(val, SP5100_WDT_MEM_MAP_SIZE, "SP5100 
> TCO")) {

is wrong. It should have been "if (!request...")..

With that, and with Stefano's patches (stefano/2.6.38-rc6-mm-fix) on top of 
2.6.39-rc0 it boots up fine.

Excerpt from the log:

[    0.000000] DEBUG find_early_table_space: _text=1000000 _end=1e33000

Attached is the full log if folks are curious.
