Most doesn't look too bad to me, but it's a lot of patches.  I vaguely
remember they were discussed on linuxppc-dev, so we should check the
comments over there.

A lot of patches? Well, there is a lot of "code"... it's not really
code, but just structure definitions... actually the patche touches
the real code at few points, one it's just a null pointer checking,
other are added cases to the switch statement so it can handle those
boards, so I really can't a problem there.

I already sent an email to linuxppc-dev in the past, but no replies:

Ah sorry, I confused it with Len's big IBM prep patchkit.  Except for a
tiny style issue this patch is fine with me.

What style issue?

Any upstream comments as I'd hate to carry along a patch like that in
the Debian patchkit while we'd probably want it in Sarge.

Gustavo, if we apply this patch you'll have to sign up for d-i testing
on prep, though ;-)

Ok, I test... actually I'm using sarge on that machine.

But I need to test it soon, as this machine may go away in few weeks.

Well, since sarge d-i will probably be released before you lose that machine,
it should be no problem. We first need to rebuild a kernel though.

Christoph, do this and other patches warrant a kernel-source 2.6.7-4 upload,
or is it better to keep it in the powerpc patches for now ?

What about using Leigh's patch?
