Re: [PATCH] raid6: altivec support

[Kumar Gala]

David,

We did talk about looking at using some work Ben did in ppc64 with OF 
in ppc32.  John Masters was looking into this, but I havent heard much 
from him on it lately.

The firmware interface on the ppc32 embedded side is some what broken 
in my mind.
