:) I left out WDTCR since it's not all that common.

:) However, i noticed i had to pull in the EEPROM definitions in order to
:) get eeprom.S assembled using an `anonymous' -mmcu option.  This made
:) it apparent that the existing EEPROM library will not work with the
:) ATmega169 since that device uses different IO port locations.  Good to
:) know at least.

:) Here's the diff.

The patch looks good, but it's too much at once. My plan (when I got
around to it) was to do something similar but in small, incremental steps.

It's a pain, but it makes review much easier. It's not much fun trying to
review a 2500 line diff and grok everything it does. ;-)

I'd break the patch up as such:

- move #include <avr/sfr_defs.h> from ioXXXX.h to io.h
- move sreg
- move SP
- move X, Y, Z pointers
- move eeprom
- etc.

Also, can you please post the patches with a ChangeLog entry? It's nice to
have an overview of which files were changed and how when reviewing. I've
attached a script which automates generating the diff with changelog entry
template.
