What you really need is an Ack from the PowerPC people for the fix you
suggested and then tha fix should go in the same series that is now
causing the failure (preferably before the problematic (for PowerPC)
patch.

For reference, the change is (white space damaged):

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
