I see that even after 2 years, this patch still hasn't been added to the official Linux kernel. Therefore, in order to not force people to use the CRUX PPC install CD in order to install Gentoo PPC on their RS6Ks, would it not be useful to have this following patch included in the gentoo-sources patchset for PPC?

Or just at least patch the kernel in the Gentoo PPC CD so that it works with these cards. Please?

BTW, patch -p1 doesn't quite work here. I recommend simply adding the lines yourself, and you will appreciate how little code this took to save everybody with a GXT6500P card some trouble.

i agree, it 'd be nice to have this patch included... and maybe rediffed to have it included in the official linux kernel.
