I'm hopeful we'll see a bunch of drivers for various non-x86 CompactPCI
CPU boards appear if my CompactPCI driver goes in. If I get the time,
I'll probably take the required bits for the Motorola PowerPC boards from
the code MontaVista released a while back and build something for them
myself.

By the way, Greg, are you interested in patches against 2.5.45, even with
the device unregistration stuff still up in the air? Barring that and
waiting to see what Russell and Alan are cooking up for PCI resource
reservation, I'm kind of doneish my port to 2.5.
