I already told akpm to drop mine and take yours instead as you already
verified that it works.

I didn't get that message..

 I'll send you the pci-e support patch, diffed

against your patch if you want.

It's not yet upstream and we are about to merge the new g5 support.
Andrew, will you send it to Linus or was there some issues with the
patch ?

Current nvidia patches which I have are:

nvidiafb-i2c-bus-name-beautification.patch
fbdev-nvidiafb-driver-cleanup.patch
nvidiafb-add-support-for-some-pci-e-chipsets.patch
nvidiafb-add-support-for-some-pci-e-chipsets-fix.patch
nvidiafb-add-boot-option-bpp.patch
nvidiafb-reduce-stack-usage.patch
nvidia-agp-use-time_before_eq.patch

None of those appear to do the same thing as Ben's patch, so I don't know
what's going on here.


Gad.  It looks like a variant of Ben's patch is in the powerpc tree.  wtf
is it doing there?


Anyway, all of the above patches apply OK to whatever is in git-powerpc so
I spose we can just merge git-powerpc and be happy.  Soon, I hope - I have
a few things held up by that tree.

Tell Paul to grovel appropriately to Linus when he sends it though -
putting non-arch stuff into an arch tree tends to upset him.
