new F11-for-XO1 images available for testing

Daniel that is interesting.

My arm devices are booting directly on ubifs. One is running ubuntu  
( SheevaPlug ) and the other Fed 8 ( OpenRD Client). I am going to  
build Fed 11 this weekend for the OpenRD Client and then try and get  
the XS bits ported to it (but that is for a separate thread with  
Martin L.)

These devices use a special build of u-boot from Marvell to initiate  
the boot.

Wish I knew how to create drivers for OFW so it could boot from UBIFS.
