Yes. arch/ppc is bug fix only at this point.
> If i should do it in arch/powerpc, can i copy some code i need in arch/ppc ? For example, with kernel 2.6.18.1 i used arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time and arch/ppc/syslib/pci_auto, but perhaps i don't need it anymore ?
I'm not sure those will work well in arch/powerpc. But obviously some
code porting is expected.
