Great work, but in 2.2.22rc2 powerpc's still broken. 
First of All Sources have got a lot of unsed stuff. 
For example look like that:

[dzimi@cyborg linux]$ rgrep -n -R '*.*' 'CONFIG_PPC64' .
./arch/ppc/mm/init.c:124:#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
./arch/ppc/mm/init.c:132:#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
./arch/ppc/mm/init.c:1586:#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
[dzimi@cyborg linux]$

this is unused ...
We may remove it or upgrade it ... (i can do it)

Second kernel-2.2.21 still have got time init problems in symbios driver 
on powerpc platform.
I send to you my ugly hack witch work, but IMHO he's ugly ;) I need to do 
it correct.

Third, kernel for powerpc boot and work on g3-266 but on g3-333 Ops ... 
(kernel traps, kernel wrote: Caused by SRR1 or somethink like that, in 2.3 
i saw #define FIX_SRR1 macro ...)

It's need a lot of bugfixies from 2.3/2.4 tree .. i've got some machines 
and i'm going to fix it. (I don't like some much 2.4.x ;))

That's all,
