Haha. My argument was that the kernel page table dump is not powerpc
specific, but this file *is* powerpc specific. Though I guess it's in
the same are as the page table / hash table dump, so it may as well live
next to them.

I don't know those 32-bit CPUs at all, so as long as you've thought
about it that's good enough for me. We can catch bugs in testing anyway.
