Sorry, this is against arch/ppc which is bug fix only.  New features
should be done against arch/powerpc. 

 Understood. The situation here is that the boards, which required these
modifications, have no support in the arch/powerpc branch. So this is 
why we made this in arch/ppc.

Bit of a dilemma then.  What board exactly?

Also, I'd rather see something along the lines of hugetlbfs support instead.

 Here I agree with Benjamin. Furthermore, IIRC the hugetlb file-system is
supported for PPC64 architectures only. Here we have PPC32.

Well that needs fixing anyway, but ok.  Also, is the modified binutils
only required for userspace to take advantage here?  Seems so, but I'd
just like to be sure.
