So why didn't this happen from the beginning?

Ask Kumar.

Why the change?

So we can remove this hack in kvm_asm.h:

/*
* TODO: Unify 32-bit and 64-bit kernel exception handlers to use same defines
 */
#define BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_UNAVAIL BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_ALTIVEC_UNAVAIL
#define BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_FP_DATA BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_FP_DATA_ALTIVEC_ASSIST #define BOOKE_INTERRUPT_ALTIVEC_UNAVAIL BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_ALTIVEC_UNAVAIL
#define BOOKE_INTERRUPT_ALTIVEC_ASSIST \
BOOKE_INTERRUPT_SPE_FP_DATA_ALTIVEC_ASSIST

It was added as a compilation fix, and it was less intrusive to temporarily fix it this way.

I am curious why the above code wasn't removed at the end of this patchset. :-)
