Actually, it defeats the whole point of this patch. I wrote it so I
could compile test all this stuff on x86 - if I shift it into a
vfio_ppc.c and make some kconfig stuff then it still won't compile
test on x86.

At that point I'd rather leave the ifdefs as-is and drop this patch.

Yes, the #ifdef is ugly, but this whole PPC thing is ugly :\
