These patches are broken for PPC machines and have been for some time. I
suppose I should file a bug report...
It's simple enough to fix however.

Be aware that 2.4.x on non-x86 architectures is still somewhat
experimental (much more so than on x86).

Yes - see below

You need an
#include <linux/ide.h>
before the
#include <asm/ide.h>
in ll_rw_blk.c.
Lines 27-30 of ll_rw_blk.c would end up looking like this:
#ifdef CONFIG_POWERMAC
#include <linux/ide.h>
#include <asm/ide.h>
#endif
There are a number of other compilation problems in the code that will
need similar "fixes".
Note that you will need the PCI fixup patch from
http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/pci.html if you want to be able to use a
PCI IDE controller card, like the Promise Ultra33/Ultra66/Ultra100, in
your PowerMac. It seems that the PCI resources won't get seupt correctly
by OpenFirmware otherwise.
