I still have a hard time figuring out what this sky CPU actually is :-) 

The whole drivers/misc/hdpuftrs is only built when CONFIG_HDPU_FEATURES
is set and git grep HDPU_FEATURES doesn't show anybody ever setting
it :-)

Is that just dead code ? I'm happy to carry it in powerpc.git if you
wish so but you it would be nice to figure out what's going on there...

Cheers,
Ben.
