Hi Linus !
Here are some late fixes for 2.6.29. I've included a radeonfb/aty128fb commit
as it only affects a powerpc specific code path and solves a reported regression.
There's also an hvc_console commit that only affects powerpc pseries backends,
and also solves a regression. The rest are defconfig fixes and removing some
obsolete and non-building code from a pair of embedded platforms.
Cheers,
Ben.

Will you also take care of the new ps3vram driver, which has been ack'ed by
Jens for 2.6.29?
Or do you prefer it to go in by email through Geoff (as PS3 maintainer), or
from me directly?
Thanks!

I'd like to have Andrew or Linus opinion on doing this driver swap that
late in the process.

Quite franklly, no.
If it was a totally _new_ driver, there's no chance of regression, which
is why we allow those drivers.
But switching an old one for a new one does not match that pattern. We can
clearly get regressions. As such, we don't do it late in the -rc series.

Are you aware the old one was introduced in 2.6.29-rc1? So there cannot be a
regression from 2.6.28 or older.
Thanks!

Ahh, no, that part hadn't registered.
In that case, I guess I don't really care, as long as everybody involved
feels it's clearly better than the one merged into -rc1.
