OK.

I have now a preliminary patch for adeos-ipipe-2.6.19-ppc-1.5-00. The 
porting was rather straight-forward, as the ppc tree does not use the 
new "genirq" interface, in contrast to the powerpc tree (that's what you 
have realized as well).

Therefore the port of the powerpc tree should be based on Philippe's new 
adeos-ipipe-2.6.19-i386-1.6-00. Unfortunately, I still do not have a 
board by hand supported by the powerpc tree.
