Problems. > Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/4] powerpc copy_siginfo_from_user32
This is advertised as a -mm patch but afacit it isn't against -mm. And it doesn't seem to be against mainline either? At least, the fourth patch fails to apply. When trying to apply the fourth patch to -mm I hit a reject due to the new BTS support in git-x86. I stopped there because the patch might be invalid because of this.

This patch is a prerequisite for "ptrace: compat_ptrace_request siginfo", but this patch is independent from that patch (and from all others) and hence this patch can be merged on its own into powerpc tree if we wish to go that way, yes? (Although probably it would be better not to do it that way, for sanity's sake). Anwyay, please help me out with the dependencies here, and take a look at the x86 BTS stuff?
