I only recently moved from 2.4 to 2.6, so this may be a FAQ, but a
quick googling around didn't find anything.

What is this arch/ppc -> arch/powerpc about? Some kind of
consolidation of ppc and ppc64? What's the reason behind it and what
kind of time frame are we talking about? Is it related to the bd_t ->
flattened OF tree change?

Could someone post a few pointers to more information?
