Override the generic module ELF check to provide a check for the ELF ABI
version. This becomes important if we allow big-endian ELF ABI V2 builds
but it doesn't hurt to check now.

Can it go in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c instead ?

Can be simpler:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2))
		return abi_level == 2;
	else
		return abi_level < 2;
Yes I think both of those can be done. Good suggestions.

Thanks,
