[Xenomai-core] [PATCH: 0/3] powerpc merge

[Heikki Lindholm]

Merge 32- and 64-bit powerpc architectures into a common powerpc arch in 
anticipation of the similar merge happening in linux kernel (possible in 
2.6.15). Amount of shared code between 32- and 64-bit ppc is substantial 
and I don't see anything changing that. These patches will simplify 
maintenance. In case the mailing list rejects the largish attachments 
I'll see if I can use the patch tracker in gna instead.

Ok, thanks (patches made their way). Will merge in the next-to-come 2.1 branch 
that should appear this WE. I have made progress separating the kernel and 
user-space supports, and compiling the whole Xenomai modules inside the kernel, 
so basically we just need to wait for the user-space support to be compilable 
anew for the branch to appear.
