Seems to have been the right idea. By putting the arch/ppc and
include/asm-ppc directories from linux-pmac-devel into my linux-bk-devel
copy and then applying the kernel.org test7-pre4 patch (plus some minor
fiddling), I have now a kernel that boots, calls itself 2.4.0-test7 and
still has the new input layer from the bk-devel tree.

It also should have the latest patches for RTC, but I cannot test this,
because I get
   hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory
just as with Paul's 2.4.0-test6 kernel. I am using devfs, so the
/dev/rtc device should be created automagically, and in 2.4.0-test5 this
worked.

What the problem was is hard to say, because there are now a lot of
diffs to the bk-devel tree.
