it would really be more useful if a unified patch against the 2.4.0 on
kernel.org could be made available somewhere (penguinppc.org) to
create a cleaned up, merged finalized 2.4.0-powerpc without requiring
[ordinary] people to fiddle with the proprietary bk.  

either that or finish merging with alan and tell people to use the -ac
series.
