From 133dda1e4f757e036fa838cba6804d0344931c4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 12:04:18 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is needed.
