Dale's is based off of linuxppc_2_4_devel as of 1.3998 I believe.

It's just a name, and I've renamed it to -mpc5xxx (and changed all refs
ot MGT5100/MGT5200 to MPC5xxx or MPC5100 or MPC5200 (in talking with
Dale 'MGT' seems to be going away as naming, so..).

This is a tree that we can check the initial MPC5xxx work into for 2.4,
make sure that it works and get Marcelo to take it.  Then it can die.
And the older (linuxppc_2_4_mgt5100) can be archived and die.  And the
new (linuxppc_2_4_mpc5200) tree should die now since it's only got
Dale's one patch in it, that I'm moving over.

Because none of the others can be pulled directly into Marcelo's tree.
IFF we do this right the first time, more or less, in the end I can just
ask Marcelo to give bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linux-2.4-mpc5xxx a pull and
we'll all be happy.
