I have an (irrational) hatred of PPC_BIT, because it obfuscates what's
going on and makes PPC seem weirder than it needs to be. It could at
least be called IBM_BIT().

I know it helps people compare the code vs the documentation, but
basically no one has the documentation, and everyone has the code.

Anyway it's not a show stopper, just a pet-peeve of mine :)

cheers
