Arctic Fox 27.9.15 released and generic DMA mapping code for PPC machines

Hi All,

Arctic Fox 27.9.15 has been released! :-)
Arctic Fox is a fork of Pale Moon 27.9.4 that was released by Moonchild Productions. The goal is to add security updates and bug fixes to keep this browser updated for as long as possible for Intel OSX and PowerPC Linux based systems. Arctic Fox is not affiliated with Pale Moon. It based on an optimized layout engine (Goanna). Further information about Goanna: http://www.moonchildproductions.info/goanna.shtml

Please test it.
BTW, the kernel developers want to use the generic DMA mapping code for PowerPC machines. They modified the source code for testing. Maybe they want to add it to the kernel 5.1.

Please compile a kernel from the Git 'powerpc-dma.6' and test it because there are some problems exist with booting and devices. 

Cheers,
Christian
