[Voyage-linux] Soekris net5501 and voyage 0.4.0

Hi Hans,

My patch didn't release, although this patch could be found from the 
web, this is not the exact patch I have.

Secondly, can you show me "dmesg|grep geode-mfgpt".  This output will 
let me know if you are using the correct kernel image.  My outboard from 
alix board shows:

geode-mfgpt:  6 timers available.
geode-mfgpt:  Registered timer 1

The first line indicates the built-in kernel code detected a Geode GX/LX 
processor and geode-mfgpt is enabled for 6 timer
The second lines shows wheb geode-wdt is loaded and it registers one 
timer from geode-mfgpt for watchdog.

Regards,
Punky
