I just uploaded a new patch set to kernel.org:

  ps3-petitboot-experimental-08.08.15-patches.tar.bz2

These patches are almost what I have in the ps3/petitboot
patch repository on infradead.  It is just missing the
updates for opensuse.

I tried to build with the latest OpenWRT sources, but
the boot failed.  It works with these older base sources
(from the series files):

  # Source: git://nbd.name/openwrt.git
  # BASE 2798438e4aa16e280174aa34b9cb08771b83cbfa
  
  # Source: git://nbd.name/packages.git
  # BASE 20deb66d0137fa3c4b5e8eea6eee1c7b3a45ece2

I'll rebase the openwrt patches and add the opensuse
patches when I get time, maybe at the end of next week
or the following week.
