Nice find.

Minor nit on naming. The 32-bit code mostly uses the numeric names, eg.
603, 603e, 604 etc. Can we stick with that, rather than using "G2"?

Wikipedia says G2 == 603e. But looking at your patch you're not changing
all the 603e cores, so I guess it's not that clear cut?

If using "G2" makes the most sense then it would be nice to update
Documentation/arch/powerpc/cpu_families.rst to mention it (not asking
you to do it necessarily, more a note for us).

cheers
