There are a few powerpc patches plus reverts in the recent push to

The reverts do not cause compile failures (I hope).
You may lose IDE if you happen to debug something on Pegasos.
I'm sure the real bisect breakers are elsewhere.
The reverts themselves are not the real problem, a git bisect could occur
between the commit adding it and the one that reverts it. If that commit
introduced a bug then surely it would be better to avoid releasing it
elsewhere even if it will be reverted in the same batch.
Of course, this is probably difficult to do with git and impossible if
someone has cloned the bad commit already and tries to pull :/
Is it possible to mass copy all the good commits to create a clean branch?
