I have not kept up with 2.4.0 development at all.  I see that Linus has
officially released 2.4.0.  Alan has also release 2.4.0-ac1.  What is
the status of ppc support in either of these kernels?

Don't bother with kernel.org, Alan's tree is better but not fully merged.
2_3 bk is fine, 2_5 bk will be merged up shortly.

it would really be more useful if a unified patch against the 2.4.0 on
kernel.org could be made available somewhere (penguinppc.org) to
create a cleaned up, merged finalized 2.4.0-powerpc without requiring
[ordinary] people to fiddle with the proprietary bk.

I'm running 2.4.0 from linuxppc_2_3 and have never used bk. rsync is rather
cool.
