I am not so sure.  You can fix it with an one-line patch that is in mainline
since before -rc4 and is known to work, or you can drop the _PPC fixes
entirely.  But I presume those fixes were NOT sent to stable gratuitously in
the first place, so it seems safer to just fix them instead of reverting
them.
