Oh, I'm not saying don't enjoy it.  :-)  I'm just saying keep it out
of mainline.  I've got a bunch of Virtex stuff that falls into that
category.  Those who are interested can pick the non mainlined patches
out of my git tree.

I suggest doing the same with the GPIO support.  Either that or do our
own simple ppc specific GPIO multiplexer until the common stuff has
its act together.  :-)  We can always migrate over later.

I don't want to see more barriers added to prevent all of 8xxx going
multiplatform.

Cheers,
g.
