Supported architectures for Linux 2.6

Supported architectures for Linux 2.6

[pinotj]

Hi,

I updated the documentation I wrote about architectures supported by the 2.6.X kernel. Here is the beginning for the curious:

----8<------
August 2004		Supported architectures for Linux	v2.6.8
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The following is a quite complete list of all the architectures supported
by Linux. Of course, you will find here Alpha, ARM, ARM26, CRIS, H8300,
i386, IA-64, M68000, MIPS, PA-RISC, PPC, S/390, SuperH, SPARC, v850 and
x86-64. But you will find too a complete list of CPUs and board supported
by the kernel. For each part, first list means "board" and second one
means "CPU".


 Content:

	1. i386		7. IA-64		13. S/390 (32/64)
	2. Alpha	8. M68K			14. SuperH (32/64)
	3. ARM		9. MIPS (32/64, LE/BE)	15. SPARC
	4. ARM26	10. PA-RISC (32/64)	16. UltraSPARC
	5. CRIS		11. PPC			17. v850
	6. H8300	12. PPC64		18. x86-64

You might like to add:

MIPS/IP30 (Octane)
http://helios.et.put.poznan.pl/~sskowron/ip30/

SGI Indigo2 R10k (IP28)

The list of Alpha computers is missing the "NoName" model, aka AXPpci33.

Sorry, I don't have much interest in keeping this up to date for ARM
platforms; there are too many ARM platforms around which would make
this a full time job.

I'm not certain that all the ARM platforms we appear to support in
2.6.x are actually working - again, it comes back to time, people and
testing.
