nope, iseries = ex-AS/400. very strange hypervisor, not coded directly
to the hardware.
pseries = ex-RS/6000.
Both support hardware from the old RS64 to the power5, the pseries
kernel also supports the G5.

Hmm, in arch/ppc/ PPC_PMAC64 indeed depends on POWER4 while in ppc64
it doesn't. Ben, is that intentional?
