It appears that I actually have a 2.6.34 kernel up and running on the 7350.  
I'm not sure if the thing is totally right.  If anyone has suggestions on a 
validation procedure, please share.

I started with Matthieu's patches.  This builds fine under a Crosstool-NG 
toolchain on a Debian system running under Parallels on a Mac.  (I would like 
some Parmesan with my spaghetti code though).

The 7350 has a couple of specific drivers that needed a refresh.  The tsuart 
and xuart stuff need some minor semantic modifications.  The ts72xx files need 
additions for the 7350's addresses and such.

The SD card driver is a little tricky since it appears to be intended as a 
built-in rather than a module for the 72xx boards.  I haven't gotten it to work 
as a built-in but I did get it to work as a module.  This doesn't appear to be 
a problem since the FPGA has code to load the kernel off the SD card.

I also needed to configure the kernel for built-in RAM disk/initrd support and 
change the boot string to use that instead of NFS.

The kernel images are also too big for the stock partitioning.  I already had a 
slightly larger one but it will only fit the zImage.
