OK, but be aware that a person here is doing the PPC port, so we'll need 
to see how to keep him up-to-date with what you're doing. 

Although the PPC code is mostly C, since the cache-as-ram trick is 
actually well-supported and working on that architecture. We don't want to 
drop too many mainboards off the edge in the long term.

A branch would be a good place to fix up support for multiple south and 
north bridges.
