David,

We did talk about looking at using some work Ben did in ppc64 with OF=20
in ppc32.  John Masters was looking into this, but I havent heard much=20=

from him on it lately.

The firmware interface on the ppc32 embedded side is some what broken=20
in my mind.

Yeah.... I'm increasingly tempted to merge ppc32/ppc64 into one arch
 like mips/parisc/s390. Or would that get vetoed on the basis that we
 don't have all that horrid non-OF platform support in ppc64 yet, and
we're still kidding ourselves that all those embedded vendors will
 either not notice ppc64 or will use OF?
