I think it would be nice to have more platform support in .31. 
Perfcounters is a brand-new feature so there's no risk of 
regression. In the end it will depend on Linus to pull of course, 
and BenH can veto it too if he'd like no more PowerPC changes in 
this cycle. Worst-case it's all .32 material.

There have been little PowerPC changes in this cycle and I agree 
with you on that it's a nice feature to have with little risk of 
regression.

Ok - thanks - i'll push it to Linus probably later today.

In fact, I also have an up-to-date (and hopefully working) 
irqtrace/lockdep patch for 32-bit powerpc (we only do 64-bit right 
now) that I'm considering merging this time around, the benefit it 
brings is worth the risk I believe.

Nice :-)
