Not being very familiar with Linux internals, I wonder what these means exactly. Are there ifdefs in the Linux source code specifically pertaining to PPC 601? Or is there some chunk of assembly code in there written for 601 that'll now get dropped?

Interesting chronology for mac/amiga users either way; PPC 601 getting dropped before 680x0.
