I have just finished some early testing of this.
The patch is available on
ftp://ftp.microux.com/pub/linux/linuxppc-rework-troy.patch.gz
Here's what I put in the REAME:
This is my set of integrated patches to the Linux kernel, which are based on
Corey Minyard's linuxppc-rework3.diff patches, along with Gabriel Paubert's
Preploader (which I have integrated into arch/ppc/preploader) and Raven MPIC
support for Motorola MTX/MVME boards.
This works on my MTX board, but only with CONFIG_PREPLOADER (the preploader
has a config option ;) ) because the raven needs to have it's PCI memory
space remapped or it isn't accessible.
Pmac should work, along with APUS. I think I may have broken MBX support..
Can someone check this out and fix this?
These patches were made from my local CVS archive agains 2.2.0-pre6.
Please let me know if you have any additions, etc.

Is there anybody that could do the MBX work and test things out? That
is the biggest hole missing. I'd like to see all the 8xx and MBX stuff
be put into the new framework, but I don't have the experience to do
it. I'm also a little short of time right now since I'm remodelling
my house.
Also, a couple of small things that probably need to be fixed:
* The __initfunc() needs to be removed from all the xxx_setup_residual
function calls, since that is called all the time.
* The patch to idle.c needs to look something like:

I have just made the changes you suggested, along with updating a couple
of files (irq.c, setup.c) to match the versions in 2.2.0-pre6. (thanks to
keys@brio.yikes.com for pointing this out)
There is also an additional patch to linux/mm/vmscan.c provided by Ryan
Nielsen which has been included which allowed me to boot an SMP kernel
again.
The patch is at
ftp://ftp.microux.com/pub/linux/linuxppc-rework-troy-2.patch.gz

Heh, this was causing 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' to crash the kernel

I'll have a look. Hey, I've remodelled a house....I'd rather spend
the time doing _anything_ else :-). Have fun.
