All of the mic2 patches are already in the mic git master. There just 
haven't been any official version releases of that yet.

Also it should be noted that in addition to the mic fix that was done 
some time ago there is need to have some x-loader patches (especially 
the patch that fixes the hard coded 63 sector requirement of the vfat 
partition). I compiled x-loader myself from sources that I knew working 
and this x-loader is available at

http://build.meego.com/project/packages?project=home%3Amarko.saukko%3Apandaboard

The x-loader in pandademo2 project didn't work at all in my tests, not 
sure why because it seems to have the required fix as well.
