This is now upstream as commit 1a4b739bbb4f.  On the e500mc test
config that I use, I'm getting this build failure:

arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.o: In function `SystemCall':
arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S:416: undefined reference to `kvmppc_handler_BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SYSCALL_SPRN_SRR1'

It seems to me that the "_SPRN_SRR1" on the end of this line
isn't meant to be there...  However, it still fails to link with that
removed.
