We aren't dropping support for any Freescale CPUs (BookE). Are you really aware of anybody using a POWER4 though ? Those were huge machines using a lot of electricity for little processing power by today standards... Note: We aren't removing 970 (aka G5) support, only server POWER4.
I see, thanks for the heads-up. I was under the impression that the support for Freescale or PPC970 CPUs depended on POWER4 support in general as I thought this is shared code. If this affects heavy iron from IBM only, I'm fine with the code being removed. The Freescale and PPC970 stuff is still very actively used in any case. Thanks for your work! Adrian -- .''`.
