Update the i.MX31 Kernel to 2.6.232.6.23-mx31ads-2008022618072.6.23-mx31-200802261807
This is the result of a brute-force attempt to update the kernel to 2.6.23. Now that we have a git tree, our effort will be a little nicer in the future. Signed-off-by: Justin Waters <justin.waters@timesys.com>

+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!
+The zero page is a kernel internal data structure, not a stable ABI. It might change
+without warning and the kernel has no way to detect old version of it.
+If you're writing some external code like a boot loader you should only use
+the stable versioned real mode boot protocol described in boot.txt. Otherwise the kernel
+might break you at any time.
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!
