powerpc.git tree now on kernel.org

powerpc.git tree now on kernel.org

[Paul Mackerras]

I have just created a git tree for ppc/powerpc patches that are
candidates for 2.6.16.  The tree is at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git

Currently, besides the patches that are in the powerpc-merge.git tree,
there are the following patches in there:

Adrian Bunk:
      PPC_PREP: remove unneeded exports

Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
      powerpc: Merge align.c (#2)

David Gibson:
      powerpc: Remove imalloc.h

David Woodhouse:
      syscall entry/exit revamp

Kumar Gala:
      powerpc: moved ipic code to arch/powerpc

Michael Ellerman:
      powerpc: Merge kexec

Mike Kravetz:
      Remove SPAN_OTHER_NODES config definition

Although some of these patches may go to Linus before 2.6.15 is
released, I won't be asking Linus to pull this tree directly, since it
is likely to get a bit messy as patches are updated.  I expect that
Andrew Morton will pull this tree periodically and include it in his
-mm releases.

Paul.

Please make sure at least all patches required to kill arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 go to Linus.  If 2.6.15 released with the include3
hack that would mean endless pain to people building external modules
and the distributions trying to support that.

Yes, that is my intention.  For 2.6.15, at this stage, some of the
header files might end up looking like:

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC32
#include <asm-ppc/foo.h>
#else
/* contents of asm-ppc64/foo.h */
#endif

if it looks like doing a proper merge will require too many changes.
But at least it gets the files out of include/asm-ppc64.

Paul.
