Do you need this ifdef?

Should this be under PPC32 since you're adding the ifdefs?

Because you added a new comment here... This is register padding
to do with something, even/odd pair calling convention? I can't
remember the details would you be able to expand the comment a bit
because I'm sure I'll forget it again too.

Thanks,
