| * kernel-of-hotplug.diff; against 2.6.9-rc2 (mainline)
| Take a look if you're interested. My familiarity with the PPC world is

As a quick note, it's been pointed out to me that some of the drivers
won't compile as is.
I only compile tested with the drivers I use, so stuff slipped by. I'll
have an updated kernel patch in a little bit.
