Linus knows about the Pegasos, do not worry!

[PATCH] ppc32: Add support for Pegasos machines
This patch, mostly from Sven Luther and reworked by me, adds support for
Pegasos machines to the ppc32 arch. The patch contains all of the arch
code. I'll send separately a few driver changes as well.

[PATCH] ppc32: (Updated) Pegasos support
Here's an updated version of the pegasos support patch for ppc32, fixing a
typo in the previous one. Driver patches to come soon.

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix via IDE driver for pegasos
The Pegasos machines have the VIA IDE controller configured in a strange
way by the firmware. It claims to be fully native, but is actually routed
to legacy irqs 14 and 15.
This patch works around that in the driver. In the future, I'll try to do
an ifdef-less patch by detecting that setup from the chip, and using the
new pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() in that case, but I don't have proper HW
infos. This patch is good enough in the meantime, I'll come up with a
better one later eventually.

=======
You see that Linus himself approved of these changes to the kernel. FYI, Benjamin Herrenschmidt is an IBM employee in Australia who works on an ODW. Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz has one too and attended EuroSNDF in Frankfurt. Of course, Sven is a Genesi partner.
Believe it or not this *is* good for MorphOS because it comes on every machine and you can be sure any technically oriented person will and does take a look.
R&B
