There is no way to make CONFIG_ALL_PPC working as claimed, it actually
means all desktop PPC (my VME PreP boards use it). Embedded PPC are so
different, especially wrt MMU (page tables versus hash tables, some
umay use bats, while the other ahve variable size TLB entries...)
that is would be very complex to implement and probably not worth
the effort.
