* Patch by Steven Scholz, 18 Oct 2003:
  Fix AT91RM9200 ethernet driver

* Patch by Nye Liu, 17 Oct 2003:
  Fix typo in include/mpc8xx.h

* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 16 Oct 03:
  Fixes for cpu/arm925/interrupt.c
  - Initialize timestamp & lastdec vars.
  - fix timestamp overflows.
  - fix lastdec overflow.
  - smarter normalization to allow udelay() below 1ms to work.

* Patch by Scott McNutt, 16 Oct
  add networking support for the Altera Nios Development Kit,
  Cyclone Edition (DK-1C20)

* Patch by Jon Diekema, 14 Oct 2003:
  add hint about doc/README.silent to README file
