Someone who would help me driving ppbus, yes. I didn't have enough time
last months.
So, what are the next issues:
- porting ppbus to newbus (especially irq managment)
- fix ppc probe bugs with recent mainboards
- sync -current and -stable
- test plip in depth
I think there is more to do with making ppbus more and more stable than
bringing new capabilities to it yet.
