The problem is the dependency on MSR_GS, which is defined only for Book-E
PowerPC chips, not all PowerPC.
So I gave it some more thought, and technically ePAPR extends beyond Book-E, so
it's wrong for the driver to depend on anything specific to Book-E. I've
removed the code that breaks:
/* Check if we're running as a guest of a hypervisor */
if (!(mfmsr() & MSR_GS))
return;

I've made a few changes, and it builds on all PPC now. I'll post a new patch.
