This series of patches is to remove the last cli()/sti() function 
calls in arch/ppc.

These are the only instances in active code that grep could find.

Are you sure none of these need real spinlocks instead of just 
disabling interrupts?

These are for single-processor systems, mostly evaluation boards and 
embedded processors.  I coudn't find any reference to multiprocessor 
setups for the processors in question after a peruse of the code or a 
quick google on the boards in question.
