I've just uploaded a new kernel patch set to 
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/arnd/patches/2.6.17-rc1-arnd2/
as well as a backport of that to 2.6.16.

It contains a number of bug fixes and experimentally enables
64k pages as well as NUMA mode. Another set of patches in there
from Jeremy Kerr adds preliminary support for a sysfs
representation of SPEs.

There is also a new snapshot of libspe that has a few bug fixes
on kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/arnd/libspe. This may move
to kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/powerpc/libspe in the future.
An add-on patch to libspe adds a __spe_get_context_fd() function
that can be used to access the new "phys-id" attribute file
of an SPE (still looking for a better name for that).
