ppc/4xx: Remove 4xx support from arch/ppc
Remove support for PPC 403, 405, and 440 processors from arch/ppc. The
arch/powerpc equivalents should be used. Boards that are not ported yet
will need to be ported to arch/powerpc to have continued support.
This looks like unneeded churn.
Paulus, Can we just kill all of arch/ppc for .27 right now?

Excellent. My prompting has succeeded. Though now I won't get to be

Is anyone already working on doing this and the cleanups that will then

Otherwise I'll be glad to contribute to it. :)

I remember Paul wanted to get PReP under arch/powerpc/ working -
should this be done before the big ppc removal?

I have a PReP port for arch/powerpc that works for one machine, at
least. :) The key part is the residual to device-tree converter that
I posted some time back with a request for people to test it on their
PReP machines, but I haven't heard back from anybody. I'm going to
post the patch shortly anyway.

BTW Paul, we agreed in your absence on IRC that you should take the
honors of committing the kill arch/ppc patch and the associated top
spot in LWN's top committers list... but there's a price. You may
very well get mailed the bar tab from the ding-dong-arch-ppc-is-dead
party at OLS this year. >:-}

Meelis Roos [off-list ref] has a Motorola Powerstack II Pro4000 and
recently reported (now fixed) 2.6.26-rc build problems with the rusty
ppc code.
You might have luck asking him for testing, thereby doubling the number
of known-working machines. :)
