I've been also playing with these ideas for a few weeks now, but before I 
can start with that I have to port my board from arch/ppc to arch/powerpc, 
which also means fdt support, new booting code, etc. But if I manage that, 
I hope I'll get back to those ideas - if somebody doesn't do it before me, 
which, actually, would be quite nice:-)

Is your board already using ARCH=powerpc or ARCH=ppc? If the latter, I am 
afraid, you'd need to port it under powerpc first. Don't think it makes 
much sense doing new developments under arch/ppc now.

As far as I understand, power-management code is also in flux, so, that 
won't be easy either...

If you do start working on str, I'll try to be useful at least with 
testing:-)

Thanks
