The apus codedrop Sven put into the Debian Kernel SVN repo has this
removed, see:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/debian/patches-debian/powerpc-apus.patch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
even if apus folks don't want to merge now all the core touching parts
of that patch should go in as they clanup the ifdef APUS mess quite a
lot.
