I can't help thinking that the repetitive structure of the lines
you're adding must imply a regularity that could be expressed more
concisely.  If you defined a dummy PCR_ARCH_300 bit as 0x10, perhaps
you could do something like this:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_300))
		host_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_300;
	else if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S))
		host_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_207;
	else
		host_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_206;

	switch (arch_compat) {
	case PVR_ARCH_205:
		guest_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_205;
		break;
	case PVR_ARCH_206:
		guest_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_206;
		break;
	case PVR_ARCH_207:
	case PVR_ARCH_207S:
		guest_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_207;
		break;
	case PVR_ARCH_300:
		guest_pcr_bit = PCR_ARCH_300;
		break;
	default:
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	if (guest_pcr_bit > host_pcr_bit)
		return -EINVAL;

	pcr = host_pcr_bit - guest_pcr_bit;

The translation from arch_compat to guest_pcr_bit might look neater as
a table lookup on the low bits of arch_compat, after a bounds check.
