Ok. Not to be a pain, but it would be easier if this one patch might  
be easier if it was split down the arch lines so each maintainer can  
deal with it.

I say this especially for the ppc code because the intent in 2.6.25  
is to actually try and remove some of the files you are fixing up for  
their arch/powerpc variants.
