Heh, so instead we got a half-assed re-implementation (with a whole
bunch of extraneous pointless crap) in the form of the OCP layer.

Crap...this pointless crap has made it easier to add driver support to
new IBM 4xx processors. And the Idea goes beyond PPC :)  Cosmetic
changes don't help make things not half-assed and mature.  Flushing the
idea, API's and usage does.

No actually.  It's become easier to add driver support to new IBM 4xx
processors because of the several sensible and useful ideas that have
gone in along with all the extraneous pointless crap.  All my ocp
patches have had the aim of leaving the former intact while
(gradually) removing the latter.
