The attached mvme5500-patch.tar.gz  contains two files :
mvme5500-rtems4.8.0-2009319.diff
mvme5500-rtems4.9.1-20090319.diff

I tried to file a PR, but it seems that there are some problems
with the bug tracking system : bugzilla.  I could not even view
https://www.rtems.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1385
It was OK last week, though.
