The patch is in:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arm32/patches/

it'll need a bit of tweaking to compile up the NVidia driver, however it's 
got the core bits for handling the footbridge in it.

Note that it might not patch that cleanly any more, it really should get 
integrated into the xsrc tree, but it needs someone to spend the time sorting 
out a way to locate the pci bus for cats and dnard.
