This is intended as a reminder that we plan on getting rid of arch/ppc  
this summer.  I'm guessing based on kernel release times that will be  
2.6.27.  That would mean 2.6.26 will be the last kernel to support  
arch/ppc.

If people have boards that like ported over please let us know and  
work with us to port this over to arch/powerpc.

Here is a list based on arch/ppc/platforms.  Its not intended to be  
complete but a general idea of what's left in arch/ppc.
