These slipped through the cracks. Picking them up again... The story so far is that Jessica gave us the new scheme in patch 1, now slightly rebased. Patch 2 implements the additional check that powerpc wants which originally came from Michael, and has been updated to the new approach. This was previously attached to the ELFv2 build option for big-endian kernels, but it can go ahead of that option. Just checking everybody is still okay with the code and their SOBs, and Luis if you would be okay for patch 1 to be merged via powerpc or prefer to take it in the module tree (or maybe you object to the code in the first place).
