	linuxppc-dev is not necessarily a patch submission mailinglist.
Until PowerPC Linux development has such a thing, I think that it is
better to coordinate with and directly send patches to someone with
write-access who can apply the patches instead of throwing them up in the
air and hoping that someone catches them.
