Try the attached patch, it works for me. It fixes aty128 linking, sound as
modules and AEC6280 IDE initialization. ieee1394 is a generic 2.5 problem, it
hasn't been fully ported to 2.5 yet. offb probably needs porting to the new
FB API. For macserial, I _think_ paulus/benh talked about that, expect a fix
soon.

Generally try to repull quite often as Paul and Tom do an extremely good job
keeping linuxppc-2.5 uptodate with Linus.
