Submiting "core-lite, > ppc-lite, 8250" would then be simply much needed cleanup. We can push > i386 few days after that. ppc.patch removes arch/ppc/kernel/ppc-stub.c and adds a new file kgdb.c I think that has a greater rejection chance. Let's not change the direction now. Some time ago there was another view that x86_64 would be easier. We have already had sufficient headache because of split -lite -heavy patches. Let's try to finish that asap. -Amit
