New mailing list specifically for embedded PowerPC development

[Hollis Blanchard]

I could go either way, but I think I'm leaning towards separate lists.

Probably true...

I think this is the difference. Hackers with an iBook don't necessarily 
know or care about issues in the drivers for this year's new embedded 
SoC. In fact they probably don't. They probably care about cpufreq, and 
3D acceleration, and why their laptop doesn't wake up when it goes to 
sleep.

I think ultimately the problem is that the embedded list ends up 
generating a *lot* of traffic, and that traffic ends up drowning out 
non-embedded topics.
