This patch contains the changes required to get the latest (ATM) version
of Alan's tree to compile on the powerpc.
The patch is located at: http://www.nerv-9.net/ as either
patch-2.4.10-ac10mb.bz2 or patch-2.4.10-ac10mb.gz
Hope this can be of help to someone.
Cheers,
Mike

Erm, when did they break? Paul sent in (and I swear I saw 'em accepted)
patches to -ac6 or 7. This is just updating to the stuff in 2.4.11
which will make it's way to Alan shortly (esp if the next ext3 is vs
-ac10).
In fact, I see some regressions even:
linux/arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c really should be bogus (and I hope this
isn't in Linus tree...)
linux/drivers/char/serial.c should _never_ make it out of the ppc tree
as it's a hack that can die shortly. And ncr885 is dead.
Alan, please don't apply this.

Hi,
Sorry I can't quote the message; I'm not actually on the lkml.
I didn't mean that Alan should apply it to his tree. I only merged the
fixes so that I could compile (it died on my cube) and figured someone
else might like it.
If I'm propagating bad code, I'll take the patch down and only mess with
my own stuff so as not to hurt others.
I appologize for anything I mistakenly implied by naming my patch as I
did. My intention was only to give credit and make it easily
identifiable.
I agree, my patches shouldn't ever go into the main kernel trees as they
are half-assed at best. =)
Sorry for the confusion,
-Mike

Can you be more specific about it? I read the patch and nothing stuck
out as being obvious, but the mm stuff _might_ be needed.

Please do. I'll try and make -ac nice and happy tonight or tomorrow.
