Hi,

I'll definitely give it a proper look today or tomorrow, but there is one 
thing that needs to be solved. The patch set from Jessica reworking 
relocations for live patching is now merged in our for-next branch. This 
means that we need to find out if there is something in struct 
mod_arch_specific for powerpc which needs to be preserved and do it.

Regards,
Miroslav
