Sparse reports the following problems:

arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:228:21: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:228:31: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:228:41: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:228:51: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:237:13: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:237:13:    expected unsigned int [noderef] __user *_gu_addr
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:237:13:    got unsigned int [usertype] *
arch/powerpc/math-emu/math.c:226:1: warning: symbol 'do_mathemu' was not declared. Should it be static?

Add missing __user qualifier when casting pointer used in get_user()

Use NULL instead of 0 to initialise opX local variables.

Add a prototype for do_mathemu() (Added in processor.h like sparc)
