This is a bit more annoying. Ananth, do we need that to be called
opcode_t for generic reasons or can we make it ppc_opcode_t ? If it has
to remain, I suppose we can try to change that ATM driver to use a
different type name...

(CC'ing Dave and Meelis who from the git history *might* have HW access
to test a possible patch).
