Sorry for the confusion ppc64-soft-reset-fixes.patch patch is depended 
on another patch (kdump-image-rm-static.patch).   Please see my earlier 
posting at http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2006-April/021956.html.
My apologies for not restating this dependency in yesterdays posting.  I 
have attached the earlier patch in this email.
Again both ppc64-soft-reset-fixes.patch and kdump-image-rm-static.patch 
must be applied to keep from breaking the build.

Regards
