I aggree with this, too - and I'm already using this patch localy while 
porting d-i to be aware of IBM pSeries/OpenPower machines. They do not 
even boot with non ppc64 kernels. Currently I've to maintain my own 
mirror which includes several modified packages, which produces lot of 
overhead for me. Most of this has been committed to svn, but things as 
yaboot are still pending and waiting for upstream to act. I'd be really 
glad to have this on board...

Was an ACK of several people the last thingie needed?

Cheers,
Cajus
