Linus, what's your feeling here ? I'd really like to have the bulk of the powerpc updates this time around, they already missed the previous merge window due to maintainers taking too long to deal with their inbox :-) KVM ppc is a big WIP with little if any users at this point so the risk of breaking things is near to non-existent, it all boils down to making our own life easier by having stuff not drifting out of tree (and making it possible for distros to pick it up when they decide to do so). Cheers, Ben.
