I don't see an iserieshv, or pserieshv, or an ibmhv, or a powermacof. I don't think this platform should be treated any differently. As Paul and others requested, I will use 'platforms/ps3'. I think that is most natural and is what would be expected by almost all users. I don't think anyone can convincingly argue that ps3 is not an acceptable name for this platform. I will change all ps3pf references in the source to ps3, but will retain the current HV (lv1) call interface. I'll post a new set of patches with these changes, plus a few more to better support multi-platform (IBM Blade + PS3) soon. -Geoff
