This is to help give folks an idea of what -ac stuff has been pushed to Linus,
is still in need of work, has been dumped in the bitbucket of bad ideas etc
Most of the important driver stuff is now in the Linus tree. There are a few

as a priority. Other stuff like the fusion drivers can wait.

I'm sure at least a few people want to know where the PowerPC port falls in
all of that. :)
...hopeing we aren't in the bitbucket..

It might be the ppc port is 2.4.0ac1 and 2.4.2 Linus or something. I don't think
that is likely to be a big problem. I need to get on top of 2.2.19pre4 and
the rest of the Linus resync then I'm going to dump chunks of stuff out of
-ac and try and get a nice clean -ac tree. If folks want to sync non x86
ports with that initially go ahead.

Oh well. I guess our problem is we can never get Linus to notice the smaller
chunks and he always seems to hate big patches.
