Just to clarify why this is good: There is a patch from Remis
to kbuild that can automatically create the trivial wrappers,
so we can remove arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h from the
kernel once that patch is applied.

I was also planning to submit a series to clean up more powerpc
in this way headers where applicable, see
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic.git;a=shortlog;h=powerpc

The series needs some forward porting to 2.6.31 as well as testing.
If you or someone else wants to help with that, please go ahead!

Thanks,
