Sorry forgot to mention that it is not a regression in 3.0.56. I
compared the patch
and this source file is not patched in 3.0.56-rc1. git log shows that
this file was last
touched back in Jan of 2011 and very likely this error was introduced
in a commit from
Sept 2010.

You can choose to leave this in and I sent a patch which can go
through its normal process
and get pulled in when it gets approved by the powerpc maintainers.
