Wookey and I have just spent the afternoon looking at Samosa support on 
Balloon 3. There were a few gotchas in the the FPGA's VHDL which were 
stopping it working, most notably that the Samosa pins were connected to 
the Wishbone master module for some reason. They're disconnected now, 
but I believe that nothing's currently using Wishbone so it's a problem 
we can solve later on if required. The minor version number of the FPGA 
is now 02.

The bus seems to work OK talking to the Toby Churchill hardware we have 
here. I've modified bootldr so that the memory timing for nCS4 is a 
little slower: the original timing was too fast for the Minipug displays 
so we were getting unreliable results from them. It's still 
theoretically too fast but seems to work in a cursory test. The minipug 
kernel module isn't yet happy but Wookey's going to look into that.

The modified bootldr and VHDL are checked into svn.
