The only difference here is that Sparc uses strncmp to match compatibility
names while PowerPC uses strncasecmp.

Could we put a comment in saying that both should really just use
strcmp(), and that this mechanism should go away once any compatibility
issues are found and addressed?

That issue was discussed earlier and is high on the list of things to do
after this lot goes in.  The priority here is to get the consolidation
started along with no (or few) visible changes.

The PowerPC one will need to drop the 'n' soon, as well, but that should
be a separate patch.

Yes, certainly.
