When applying I got this:
error: arch/powerpc/configs.new/adder875_defconfig: does not exist in index
error: arch/powerpc/configs.new/ep88xc_defconfig: does not exist in index
error: arch/powerpc/configs.new/mpc866_ads_defconfig: does not exist in index

I've fixed it, but please ensure that patches can be applied using "git
am". I recommend using git to generate patches, but if you don't want to
do so be sure that it's the "b" filename, not the "a" filename, that
matches the tree.
