Can you tell me the kernel version where this change was 
made? It would be useful to include that in the text, I think.
In fact, if you knew the kernel commit that made the change,
that would also be of interest.

Also, your patch changes just the entry for ppc/64. Does
the same statement hold true for ppc/32?

Thanks,

Michael
