It is nice to see a little progress has been made atleast. But it was mostly my mistake that I couldn't get time to work on it. Let me see if we can atleast get these ppc patches upstream. Most seems sensible to me. But then would come heavy lifting on function and performance verification. That's a different beast altogether.
