What I don't like about this where you use it is it kind of pollutes
the ppc32 path with this function which is not valid to use.

I would prefer if you had this purely so it could compile with:

  if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC64)))
      irq_soft_mask_regs_set_state(regs, blah);

And then you could make the ppc32 cause a link error if it did not
get eliminated at compile time (e.g., call an undefined function).

You could do the same with the kuap_ functions to change some ifdefs
to IS_ENABLED.

That's just my preference but if you prefer this way I guess that's
okay.

Thanks,
Nick
