After looking at it in more details, I don't really know what should be done to avoid that.

This unused function is defined as part of DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS(ppc_optinsn).

The code uses other items defined by macro DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS, so it cannot be removed.

Solution could be to hide that in a .h, but is that worth it ?

It can't go in asm/kprobes.h because linux/kprobes.h includes asm/kprobes.h before defining 
DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS(). So it would mean a dedicated header just for hiding the problem under the 
carpet.
