I do have that directory from both Geoff's GIT tree and using the 
mainline with Geoff's patch set applied.

I see that there are such function entries for the PS3 model, code 
however in the op_model_cell.c (not op_model_ps3.c) there is a 
conditional that switches between calling spu_sync_start and 
DO_GENERIC_SYNC per the variable spu_cycle_reset, whereas that is not in 
the PS3 kernels I have (as above).   spu_sync_start is defined in the 
cell subdirectory in the file spu_task_sync.c.

Thanks,
