What is the status of this with regard to the 2.6.11 mainline kernel ?

I guess i need to look there, as in mainline 2.6.11, there doesn't seem to be
direct related code between the ppc specific mv64x60 stuff, and the mips

Well, as i am doing the powerpc debian 2.6.11 kernel, i really would like to
port your work to the pegasos, but what i have seen from the code in the
mainline kernel doesn't really make sense.
