I was mistaken in putting the ATA stuff (and others) into powermac/.
It makes it a tad more difficult to build modules, manpages etc. There's
plenty of precedent for single-arch drivers going into dev/. It also
makes it easier for folk to find things when they are doing changes that
sweep the tree, such as modifying a field in the ifnet struct.
I vote for it to go into dev/.
later,
Peter.
