It's still very rough in places, and it uses bits out of arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, but it is a start. Of course, this means that we are about to bump up against the really hard bits of the merge. Things like * converting ppc32 to use the lmb infrastructure * introducing the device-tree flattening/unflattening to ppc32 * working out how to deal with the early hash table initialization that POWER4 needs on ppc32 * reconciling the fact that ppc64 needs RELOC in the prom_init code, whereas ppc32 doesn't; but ppc64 doesn't need RELOC when running with the MMU off but ppc32 does (or needs -mrelocatable). I look forward to people sending me patches to push this on a bit further, and in particular to populate arch/powerpc/platforms a bit more. :) Paul.
