No change needed there - it was correct in arch/ppc, just not in arch/
powerpc. The 8540 patch was based on a slightly older copy of the
file that didn't have this change and we didn't catch the problem in
testing because the FPU isn't enabled for 8540. I discovered this
later.
The 8540 flat tree support patch added this file to arch/powerpc/
kernel. As you pointed out in a different mail, this patch has
disappeared from the tree recently.
