Current nvidia patches which I have are:

nvidiafb-i2c-bus-name-beautification.patch
fbdev-nvidiafb-driver-cleanup.patch
nvidiafb-add-support-for-some-pci-e-chipsets.patch
nvidiafb-add-support-for-some-pci-e-chipsets-fix.patch
nvidiafb-add-boot-option-bpp.patch
nvidiafb-reduce-stack-usage.patch
nvidia-agp-use-time_before_eq.patch

None of those appear to do the same thing as Ben's patch, so I don't know
what's going on here.


Gad.  It looks like a variant of Ben's patch is in the powerpc tree.  wtf
is it doing there?


Anyway, all of the above patches apply OK to whatever is in git-powerpc so
I spose we can just merge git-powerpc and be happy.  Soon, I hope - I have
a few things held up by that tree.

Tell Paul to grovel appropriately to Linus when he sends it though -
putting non-arch stuff into an arch tree tends to upset him.
