This might be a lot to ask, because it can be pretty tedious to test, 
but since you offered ... :-)

The "Handle ramdisk location changes required by new Linux kernels" 
change is potentially disruptive, so it could use more testing.  
Specifically, it would be good to test booting from several different 
kernels, both in the 2.6.22 series and the 2.6.25 series , in both 
secure and non-secure modes.

I tried 2.6.25-whatever from os 759 in non secure mod, 2.6.25-whatever 
from OS 703 in secure and non-secure, and a custom 2.6.22 kernel in 
non-secure.  Other data points would be most welcome.

You could also try out the multicast nand update thing if you are really 
eager.  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Multicast_NAND_FLASH_Update tells how.
