This hunk we can probably remove, i doubt anyone is using powerpc processors
over some intel PIIX chipset, if i am doing it correctly.

Well, this is probably because the debian version specific patch handling got
removed (by you) from the 2.4.26 kernels. In 2.4.25 we would not have had this
problem.

That said, 2.4.26 just recently escaped NEW, i will redo the patching as soon
as alioth is fixed. Well, i will redo it earlie, but submit once alioth is
fixed.
