PowerMac pci kernel 2.3.16

Just out of curiousity I downloaded the 2.3.16 kernel from ftp.us.kernel.org and tried to compile it. I have a Kingston PCI/Ethernet card and a USB PCI card and I found that the tulip driver for the former would not compile due to a change in the pci_dev structure. I then dug a little deaper to find that the pmac_pci.c file does not seem to use this new structure when the chrp and prep pci files do. Specifically the old structure has a "base_address" and states "use pcibios_fixup to alter these address for platform specific issues" or something like that. pmac_pci.c has this pcibios_fixup where chrp and prep do not? Is there development for the PowerMac pci bus for the 2.3 kernel? Am I missing something from my casual perusing of the code? I got my 2.2.12 kernel up and running with the help of the "Various PCI patches" thread (USB and Ethernet cards were somehow mapped wrong) and I would hope that development does not get lost.
