I'm going to insist that every new ppc64 platform supplies a device tree. They don't have to have OF but they do need to have the booter or wrapper supply a flattened device tree (which is just a few kB of binary data as far as the booter/wrapper is concerned). It doesn't have to include all the As for merging ppc32 and ppc64, I think it would end up an awful ifdef mess, but if you can see a clean way to do it, send me a patch. :) Paul. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
