are iomd devs on the arm7500 that different?  I know they have a few
changes here and there, but I'm hoping that the vidcaudio driver should
work on that device with only a few changes (that's if I ever get any
sound out of the thing)

Well you obviously got it almost working, that could perhaps be more to
hacking about than the straight tree working?

I'd suggest sending any fixes for the A7000+ to mark so that they can be
integrated into the tree.

How does the floating point work on the a7000+? It should be quicker
than on other machines (although I think the soft-float should have
helped)

Out of curiosity does the lmcaudio driver work on the A7000+? (This
would be useful for the work I'm doing on the audio driver...)
