By now it should work on any desktop/server PowerPC system you can find. Sorry, I have no ppc box here. So at this stage, I am sometimes using cross compilers to check this can build or not: not enough test now. And this patch needs arch specific(assembly level) optimization in the future. So I want to make this development as open as possible. > > Also the only differences on PPC are that we are big endian and usually run 32 bit userspace on 64 bit kernels.
