So, currently woody (using a 2.2 kernel on powerpc) doesn't support most newer PowerPC Apple Macintosh hardware. So, here are the initial patches to create a new subarchitecture, which I modeled after the sun4u stuff.
We still need to get a special 2.4 kernel image (as well as the pcmcia modules) into woody if this is going to work. I'm sorry I didn't do this earlier, but it took me a LONG time to realize that the reason my loopback device didn't work was because I use tmpfs on /tmp. Comments appreciated; I am just getting my feet wet with b-f. (Note; this patch also removes the pointless "special PowerPC losetup stuff", as well as changing the "tempfile" calls to make temporary files in /var/tmp, which is where the rest of the b-f stuff happens anyways, so it seems like a good idea to me.)
