APUS uses the m68k bootinfo format anyway, which ours is gratuitously
different from.  The apus booter probably does pass the address in a
register, which would actually be the sensible thing to do. :)

Ummm, it would depend which functions you're talking about.  There is
certainly an argument for having a couple more .h files in
arch/ppc/kernel to declare functions that are used only in
arch/ppc/kernel/*.c.
