Andrew,
the following patch adds definition for PPC 405EP which was lost
somehow during 2.4 -> 2.6 transition.
Recent change to arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S ("Fix incorrect CPU_FTR fixup
usage for unified caches") triggered this bug and 405EP boards don't
boot anymore.
Please, consider applying this patch before 2.6.12 release.

Linus,
You have applied this patch twice now.

Actually, looks like three times ;)
I think Andrew continually thinks it is dropped, because the patch ends up
applying again, even though it got applied. So he keeps on re-sending it
over and over again ;)
Andrew, I'll remove two extra copies. You please remove that patch from
your queue..

Crap, sorry, that's happened three times now... hmm..

Fault-tolerance!
Indeed.
However, I'm sure there's a better way. For example, something like "try
if the patch applied reversed" might be a good idea to at least mark it
for questioning.
Something like
patch -spfR --dry-run --fuzz=0 < patch
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo Hmm.. patch might be applied already
exit 1
fi
might be a starting point...
