Ok, there were a few bugs with Openpic on PreP: some functions were marked
__chrp while openpic support is a completely orthogonal issue. Yours seems
to work, however, which source tree are you using ?  (I'm still basing
everything on kernel.org).

Besides this, it's fairly close to what I do on my MVME boxes: the
firmware puts them in PreP mode and I reorganize them as CHRP. This forces
me to reorganize all the PCI space (but the code has not been with bridges
and will probably fail). You have open firmware, which is hopefully more
flexible than PPCBUG which I have to use.

I am late in publishing my patches (on ftp://vlab1.iram.es/pub/liux-2.4),
hopefully I can be back to hacking around the 15th...
