What's going on is that the powerpc tree contains that patch bcs it
contains all the necessary bits to boot a new g5 and that includes it.
However, paulus is currently cooking a merged tree for linus with all of
that stuff, but not the nvidiafb patch since it's not the proper way to
get it in sneaked inside a powerpc merge ;)

We are working on it.

Well, that's why we aren't sending it to Linus ourselves... I'll send it
back to you separately.
