[PATCH 1/2] add ARM FCSE support

[Martix]

Hi,
thanks for your FCSE patchset update. I will test it in couple of days
with SHR on my Neo FreeRunner and if everything will be alright I'll
ask for submission to Openmoko kernel tree. I hope FCSE patchset will
reach Linux mainline soon.

Best regards,

Martin 'Martix' Holec
