As Christoph said, this quantity of ifdefs really hurt the
maintainability.  Refactoring is needed.  Also, since in arch/powerpc
we want to have a single kernel support both MV64[34]60 and GT64260
(determined at runtime) and their register sets are so different, I
think the best approach is to have a separate module for the GT64260.

Also, please follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches.  Good subjects,
diffstats and "diff -p" would have been helpful in reviewing this series.
