But we wouldn't have this mess if you guys would just let us have one
CONFIG_GENERIC_PPC32 vmlinux with a standardized and stable boot ABI. Then we,
the people with incentive to sell boards, would do what we need to do with our
firmware or booters or whatever to boot that standard vmlinux and make it as
easy as possible for people like Debian to support us in the standard dist.
