I'll rather let Aurelien comment on ppc64el patches. (Also, some bits
could probably be shared between powerpc and ppc64el?)
I'm not familiar w/ the approach/decision the original author(s) took
about it, nor am familiar w/ the broader scope of d-i, so I'd like to
defer the sharing question if possible. :) (I have only guesses about
the lack of sharing because pcp64el is not actually/can't be a flavor
of powerpc). I can try to find more info if needed.

3.16 is soon going to be the default anyway, as soon as it's uploaded to
unstable and built on all architectures.
Yup. I just mentioned that to justify the base version bump to 3.16
on the patch, without that version being on sid yet. :)
Thanks again,
