The purpose of this series is to reduce the amount of #ifdefs
in ptrace.c

Any feedback on this series which aims at fixing the issue you opened at
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/128 ?

Yeah, sorry my bad. You did all the hard work and I ignored it.

I like the approach and is a long the lines I was thinking. Putting it in a
ptrace subdir, splitting out adv_debug_regs, TM, SPE, Alitivec, VSX.
ppc_gethwdinfo() looks a lot nicer now too (that was some of the worst of it).

I've not gone through it with a fine tooth comb though. There is (rightly) a lot
of code moved around which could have introduced some issues.

It applies on v5.2 but are you planning on updating it to a newer base?

As you noticed there is a lot of code moved around, and rebasing 
produces a lot of conflicts. So I didn't want to spend hours to rebase 
and rebase without being sure it was the right approach.

Now that I got a positive feedback I'll consider rebasing it, hopping 
that Michael will pick it up.

I would love to.

cheers
