The reason for 64-bit powerpc is actually that modules are allocated in
vmalloc space which is a long way out from the linear map where the per
cpu embedded chunk is.
It does look like x86 and arm64 are probably okay because they set up a
module vmalloc area close to their kernel text in the linear map, which
should be close to per-cpu I guess.
I'm not entirely sure why pcpu setup is different on powerpc, but I
think the module vmalloc addresses bite first anyway.
Okay I'd say let's just remove powerpc for now.
Thanks,
Nick
