Unlike the bad old days when stuff used to accumulate for ages in various trees without getting merged into Linus' tree, these days stuff gets merged into Linus' tree and released in the official releases pretty promptly. So Linus' releases are the canonical ones for powerpc. I have a tree where I put stuff that will be going to Linus at the next opportunity, but currently it is identical to Linus' tree. It doesn't accumulate any long-term difference from Linus' tree. Kumar's tree currently has some stuff for 8xxx pci support that looks to have missed the merge window that just closed. If you want that specific stuff you can use his tree. That stuff should get merged into Linus' tree once 2.6.23 has been released.
