RE: Virtex V5FX PPC 440 Support In Xilinx Git Tree

["John Linn" <John.Linn@xilinx.com>]

Hi Peter,

We added arch/ppc support because it was the easiest path for us.  We
realize it's going away soon in the mainline.

We are working on getting arch/powerpc more mature for both the 405 and
the 440 as we do believe this is the future for powerpc.

Thanks,
John

Neat, but why have you added arch/ppc support? It's supposed to go
away pretty much by the time the hardware gets in the hand of
developers.
