I have yet to find a Linux Device Driver book that isn't heavily skewed
towards x86. Some of this stuff is either specific to powerpc or
relevant a subset of non-x86 platforms.

I think Google, the linuxppc-dev mailing list, related IRC channel and
lxr.linux.no have been the sources I've mostly used learning about Linux
on powerpc.
