Hi Alexei, 

That's right, powerpc at the moment doesn't have support for BPF trampoline
and struct ops.

As mentioned in my previous message I have the patch series to support trampolie,
struct_ops applied on top of Tejun's branch while running sched_ext on PowerPC
which is the same series that you referenced.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240915205648.830121-1-hbathini@linux.ibm.com/.

However, I am seeing the above crash with this series applied.

Sure, I will post more details and will continue the discussion in the below
thread going forward.
