Probably a newbie question...my understanding is that kernel.org is the
preferred repository for PPC-specific code these days, correct? So the a-
bove is referring to Xilinx-specific PPC code? From what I can see on LXR
and kernel.org neither has any Xilinx-related code...

Re keeping discussion on linuxppc-embedded, sure. Re the hosting of source
trees, I'd definitely like to see Xilinx take that on if the stuff dis-
cussed above doesn't come to pass. We need to have a relatively stable,
long-term primary source for such code.
