To avoid all these ifdefs in the code we need something like this in a
header:

static inline int task_uses_debug_regs(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
	return test_tsk_thread_flag(tsk, TIF_DEBUG);
#else
	return 0;
#endif
}

If you just use current here you don't need to define tsk above.
