Hi Nathan,

  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.
