As much as I would have liked to integrate your code in 2.6.20, it seems
that it won't be possible (as I told you privately earlier today). Linus
is getting fairly strict about the 2 weeks window which closed... today.
We'll merge the code in powerpc.git in the meantime, not in it's current
form but after you have addresses some of the remaning comments. That
way, it will be in -mm at least, and in the powerpc tree which means
that from there, you won't have to rebase it every time we change
something and it will get in first thing in 2.6.21 merge window.
That will also give us more time to address some of the remaining issues
that I'm not too happy with, like some of the PCI bits.
In general, code should be ready to merge -before- the merge window open
or at worst during the first week, the second week being mostly to flush
out bits that collided or needed rebasing etc...
In a similar vein, while some of the PS3 code was actually merged, a lot
of it wasn't yet (drivers etc...) are they are not ready, so it looks
like 2.6.20 won't be the "big cell relase" but 2.6.21 will be instead.
Cheers,
Ben.
