It's not gone, it just depends on CONFIG_BROKEN.  A lot of code was
finally synced up, but since it's not fully functional (it's the same
state as was in linuxppc-2.5), it requires CONFIG_BROKEN to be set.

Not actively.  The problem has been described on the list a few times
(it seems like there's a stale TLB entry).

> Will the MPC8xx support be functionnal for 2.6.10 ?

Most likely no.

In my spare time, which I have little of right now.
I know the symptom, as Tom mentioned, but not the cause.
