Fixed up conflicts manually in:
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_32.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c
include/asm-powerpc/pci.h
and asked the powerpc people to double-check the result..

301 | What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories | ||
302 | When: Jun 2008 | ||
303 | Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64 | ||
304 | platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining | ||
305 | arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc | ||
306 | tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will | ||
307 | remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms | ||
308 | that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an | ||
309 | interested maintainer. | ||
