Why only book3s/64 ? It applies to the 8xx and book3s/32 as well, I 
think it should just be for all powerpc.

I think you should squash probe_read_common() here, having it separated 
is a lot of lines for no added value. It also may make people believe it 
overwrites the generic probe_read_common()

Same comment as for probe_read_common()
