Yes, well, that's what Paul asked you a couple of days ago :) Wether you
will give us a few more days after the official 2 weeks limit to finish
merging the remaining bits that are still in arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 and remove arch/ppc64 completely or not :) Hopefully,
we should be able to be over sometimes next week.

I'll pop to work later this morning and get a patch for these error,
I'll let paul decide what to do with the main Makefile.
