Hi Stefane,

I've been playing around on the PPC32 box I have, in preparation for
looking at the PPC64 code. (I have a box, just not root access to the
latter.)

I've reworked a lot of the code to resemble the MIPS code in many
ways...especially since the MIPS code is so much simpler to understand.
I've also removed the TB register from the PMD defs for now and included
skeletons for PPC970, Cell and Power4.

Anyways, attached are files for PPC32 and PPC64 support that get us a
little closer to working support. My bet is that with proper definitions
of the registers in the PPC32 file, we'll be very close to working PPC32
support (and as such, other PPC support). I believe I sent you the name
of the machine if you want to have access...you can find my patched and
built kernel in /usr/src there.

If I get time, I'm going to boot the kernel I built using the following
and see if I can get it to do something.

Phil
