From 0b7dbfbf13192a57591275d50b0993cb0acdb25c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Boyer Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 23:25:46 +1000 Subject: [POWERPC] Schedule removal of arch/ppc The arch/ppc tree has been in a semi-nebulous "bug fix only" state for a few kernel releases now. The patch below officially declares this as of the 2.6.22 kernel release and schedules arch/ppc for removal in June of 2008.
