Do the powerpc patches later in the series actually depend on this one?
Or is this just an unrelated cleanup?

As it is I can't merge the series until we at least get an ack on this
from the ia64 folks.

If you can just split this out as a separate patch that would make it a
lot easier to get the rest merged.

cheers
