Ah, I see. If LEON2 has specific devices or a
machine model it needs then yes, I guess it's
just that nobody has (yet) done the work of getting
them in shape to merge upstream. (That needs somebody
who's familiar with and interested in the hardware,
and also with some ability with C; it may require
disentangling code changes into a set of coherent
reviewable patches.)
