I just saw the commit message below.

There seems to have been some although unmerged work on APUS support by 
Roman, but I didn't find any recent work on bringing the GEMINI support 
back into life.

Is this a wrong impression, or would a patch to remove it be OK?

    [PATCH] ppc32: Mark boards that don't build as BROKEN
    
    Marked APUS and GEMINI as BROKEN since they do not build at the platform
    level.  We have requested that the maintainers of these boards/platforms
    fix them by the time 2.6.15 is released or we plan on concerning them
    unmaintained and thus removing them.
