maybe I missed it, but I didn't find a downloadable pre-compiled
kernel that claimed to have the memory map patch built in. and of the
kernels people offered, it wasn't always clear which ts-72xx models
they would work with.

anyway, using the mem= hack I was able to map in enough memory (32MB)
so that I could get a kernel compiled natively from source. of course
I did apply all of the recommended patches to that kernel, and it
boots up just fine. I just wanted a pre-compiled kernel and root file
system to start with, so I could avoid having to set up a cross
toolchain and try to get all of those details right. (e.g. EABI seemed
like the way to go, but crosstool doesn't seem to support EABI yet)
