After getting many of the PXA16x peripherals working in modern Linux kernels during my Chumby 8 kernel upgrade saga (here are links to parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7), I really felt like I was starting to reach the finish line.

In multiplication, to get a non-zero product, all factors must be greater than 0. If one factor is 0, nothing else matters. \[\begin{align} 5 \times 2 \times 229 \times 0.2 &= 458.0\\ 5 \times 2 \times 229 \times 0.0 &= 0.0 \end{align}\] This xz/liblzma incident and the public post-morten discussion is a great illus...
