I just finished the combination of the two:

http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-combine-2.5.6.diff
http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-combine-2.5.6.BK

Also added the voyager patches

http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/voyager-split-combine-2.5.6.BK

I've checked that the voyager additions will combine and boot. There seems to
be some problem with missing pci functions which prevent a standard SMP
compile. I think it has to do with a missing entry in the Makefile in
drivers/pci for hotplug.c. I think Patrick probably needs to look at this.
