Hi Matt,

The goal is to have the new 4xx arch/powerpc support not break 4xx
arch/ppc support. So as boards are merged and verified working,
we'll remove the equivalent support from arch/ppc...

Some boards/chips may just die if no maintainer step up to port
them over...but all the important stuff should get an interested
party once we get the initial 4xx support in arch/powerpc working.

When can we expect this done? I have a 440 based SoC project ongoing
and am thinking when I should start moving to arch/powerpc.

There is no set date or kernel release where this will be done.  In
other words "when it gets done, it gets done". :)

There is some push for putting a date one year from now as when arch/ 
ppc will go away.
