With this patch, a 32-bit powermac compile with PR KVM enabled gives
this error:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:58:12: error: ‘kvmppc_handle_fac’ declared ‘static’ but never defined [-Werror=unused-function]
 static int kvmppc_handle_fac(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, ulong fac);
            ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
scripts/Makefile.build:312: recipe for target 'arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.o' failed

The easy fix is a #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 around the forward
static definition.

Paul.
