I'll dbl check, if it's only ppc then I'll take the whole series, As usual, if you don't see things happening by end of next week, ping me :-) But it's on patchwork so hopefully it won't fall through the cracks.

[PATCH 0/5] Generic NVRAM support for large MMIO devices
The following series allows the generic NVRAM driver to access MMIO based NVRAMs. In addition it enables support for NVRAMs of sizes differing from those found on PowerPC Macs (providing a safe fallback). Patches are also included to enable support for the NVRAM found on the GE Fanuc PPC9A, SBC310 and SBC610. If this patch series is unsuitable this late in the day for 2.6.31, please concider it for 2.6.32.
