Jeff, do you have any objections against this patch going into the kernel
via Paul's powerpc.git tree? It touches only a few lines of ehea which are
specific to the bus interface changes.

You can see the full patch here:
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=13750

If you have no objections, please ack the patch so Paul can include it.

Thanks and regards,
  Joachim
