That's probably my fault, Andrew asked if we wanted to take it via powerpc and
I thought "yes" but never actually replied.

Andrew can you drop this one and we'll take it via powerpc?

It might take a while to actually hit the powerpc tree because Aneesh is doing
a lot of work in this area at the moment.

Without knowing the code, the change logs make me think we probably also need
to take the other two from Laurent for it to make sense. Laurent?

cheers
