Yes, but I think Andrew should still merge your patch at this point,
I'll send the ppc64 fix today hopefully along with other ppc64 io.h
fixes.

Then we need the rest of the core & driver bits in. I'd really like
2.6.3 to be "complete" for PowerMacs (both ppc32 and ppc64) which
means including the fbdev updates. I think the fbdev core changes are
now good enough to get in. I'm fairly sure there are still fbcon bugs
but I'm also sure those are already upstream so they aren't worth
postponing the merge.
