Yeah.  I would be surprised if it did build, since you are removing
definitions without adding any #includes to make sure we get the
global definition.

NAK.  Stuff in arch/powerpc/boot intentionally *doesn't* depend on
Linux kernel headers, since it runs outside of the kernel, either on
the build machine (addRamDisk.c) or before the kernel.
