I just tested those again in linux-next, with the Wii support series on
top, but now the kernel fails to build due to ARCH_WARN_ASM and
ARCH_WARN_REACHABLE not being defined on PowerPC:

Looks like powerpc needs something like the followings:

Yeah, This makes sense.

I'll work on this and send out a fix soon.
Did a fix for this ever materialize? I am still seeing the errors that
