Upstream kernel broke for powerpc (snowpatch applies patches on top of
powerpc/next), it was fixed in commit
35004f2e55807a1a1491db24ab512dd2f770a130 which I believe is in
powerpc/next now.  I will look at rerunning tests for all the patches
that this impacted.

As for the S-o-b, no clue, I'll have a look.  Thanks for the report!
