Details

Once we free up some scarce PPC xserves from FF2 work (bug#487235, bug#491077), we should end up with a total of 3 available for reuse. This bug is to track recycling two for running unittests on PPC on mozilla-191. Puddle-of-slaves? We can maybe not bother running this on tracemonkey. Not sure about mozilla-central? 

These two machines will not be able to keep up with the volume of changes on these active branches, so if a PPC-specific regression is introduced this will require humans to look through a larger-then-usual regression window. This is not ideal, but is much improved on our current state.
mrz found another PPC xserve in bug#435615 that will be available soon.
I am going to start working on bm-xserve03 and 04.  I will request a reimage of both machines.  These machines were backed up in bug 488651.  They will only do standalone unit tests, no builds.  They will be on Mozilla-Central and Mozilla-1.9.1 branches.

Let me know if I have missed anything.
