I think the 2.4 kernels already have support for the mouse on the 7500.  You 
can probably copy the code verbatim.

By "an arch in its own right", do you just mean it has its own MACH_TYPE 
number, or that it's a completely separate configuration?  In other words, can 
you compile a single kernel with support for both RiscPC and riscstation and 
select between them at run time (as you can for EBSA-285/CATS/NetWinder) or do 
you have to have separate binaries?

Excellent.
