Coming back to this after my comment on the m68k side, I notice that
there is now a double indirection through function pointers. Have you
considered completely removing the operations from ppc_md instead
by having multiple copies of nvram_ops?
With the current method, it does seem odd to have a single
per-architecture instance of the exported structure containing
function pointers. This doesn't give us the flexibility of having
multiple copies in the kernel the way that ppc_md does, but it adds
overhead compared to simply exporting the functions directly.
