Right now, I'm sending massive PowerMac driver updates directly
to Linus. Typically, all of this is available from my linuxppc-2.5-benh
tree, though I don't really recommend for non-hackers to use that.

I'm trying to completely avoid having a "ppc" or "powermac" tree with
2.6, at least once all the "pending" bits from mine have been in Linus.
I want to keep as close as Linus tree as I can, not reproduce what I did
for 2.4 where I had megabytes of diffs piling up.
