Ok,
 I'm planning on doing the final 2.6.3 tomorrow, so please test this 
final -rc.

Most notably, this should support ppc/ppc64 out-of-the-box, complete with
G5 support (64-bit). Special thanks to BenH who made sure the new radeonfb
driver works on a wide variety of hardware (a number of the fixes here
relative to -rc3 was making sure the driver works on regular x86 laptops).

Apart from the radeon updates, there's some IDE oops fixes (and cleanups), 
and a SELinux update.

And yes, document the fact that sparc is no longer f*cked up (both atomics 
and irq save/restore now work the way they always did everywhere else).
