linuxppc-dev is not necessarily a patch submission mailinglist.
Until PowerPC Linux development has such a thing, I think that it is
better to coordinate with and directly send patches to someone with
write-access who can apply the patches instead of throwing them up in the
air and hoping that someone catches them.

	I did not mean to send patches to someone *instead* of sending
them to the mailinglist.  I meant that sending them to the mailinglist
solely as a way of proposing that a patch be merged into the development
tree does not make it clear what action should be taken.

Hi David,

  Ooops sorry about that. Had a tooth out yesterday so my brain isn't
exactly in the best of shape today.
