My preference would be for the patches to go through the powerpc tree unless there is a good reason for them to go via another tree. The style we use for the headline is "powerpc: Add xyz feature" or "powerpc/subsystem: Fix foo bug". As for the acked-by, I feel I first need to go through the whole series again with the changes you have made recently. Have you reworked the earlier patches to avoid introducing any bugs, rather than just fixing the bugs with later patches? If you haven't, are you sure that the bugs won't cause any problems in bisecting? Also, what's the best place to find the latest patch set? Thanks again for doing all this work.
