missing BK architectures?
At OLS I got a number of requests for a PARISC BK release. One of the the PARISC guys (Wilcox? I apologize, I can picture the person but not the name, nice guy, black hair, pony tail, medium height, glasses) who works at HP was kind enough to offer a loan/donation of a box on which to run Linux/PARISC. Which is way cool and we promised that within 24 hours of getting the box we'd have finished the port (Linux on different architectures is so easy to port to that if it takes more than a few minutes, we're positive it's our code).
Anyway, kudos to the HP guys aside, are there other architectures for which someone wants a Linux port of BK? I know we need to release a zseries version, that's in the works (noone is donating a zseries and I'm pretty sure we couldn't afford the power bill anyway, but I have an account on their public server), but what about other archs? Are we missing any you care about?
Cheers,

I noticed a BK mips tree but it doesn't seem to active. Who is in charge of it? I really like to push some changes for MIPS into Linus tree.

Me but there isn't much sense in starting to use that bk tree before MIPS has caught up with Linus, after all we're still at 2.5.2 ...
Pumping 2.5.2 to oss as I'm writing this,
