Ah. So it's the UIC support that likely breaks. Could you try this patch?

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/uic.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/uic.c
index dd40f64..4eff1ab 100644

In case it is not enough, try removing all the ipipe_irq_lock/unlock calls from
arch/powerpc/sysdev/uic.c. If that works eventually, I'll sort the mess out later.
