merge progress

[Paul Mackerras]

I have just pushed out a new pile of commits to the powerpc-merge tree
on kernel.org.  (It may take a little while for them to get mirrored
from master.kernel.org to ftp/rsync.kernel.org.)

The current state is that with ARCH=ppc, the merge tree will build all
the ppc32 configs that build in the stock 2.6.14-rc2 tree, and the
powermac configs run (I haven't boot-tested any of the others).

With ARCH=powerpc, a 32-bit powermac target builds (both UP and SMP)
and runs, and a 64-bit pSeries target builds and runs.  64-bit iSeries
builds but there is some weird bug that Stephen Rothwell and BenH have
been chasing.  I haven't got far enough with the merge to be able to
build a 64-bit powermac target.

With ARCH=ppc64, pSeries, iSeries, powermac and maple all build, and
pSeries and iSeries have been boot-tested.  I think I have broken
BPA/cell because it was using pSeries_smp.c (I think we need to make
cell have its own bpa_smp.c or whatever anyway).

I have about a week's backlog of mail, resulting from being on
vacation last week and from concentrating on pushing the merge along.
Tomorrow I'll hopefully get a chance to look at all the patches people
have sent in the last week. :)

Paul.
