BTW, do you know something about the history of the POP patches ? From
which kernel tree they evolved and so on. I tried yesterday (quickly
though) to isolate the pop 0.92 changes from the full of
linuxppc_2_4_devel, and failed. I wrote to Tom Gall, who mostly ignored
me, and the 0.9.2 patches are almost a year old now.
