Please drop this from all trees. It was correctly broken. The whole if was removed later by 93bd4a80efeb521314485a06d8c21157240497bb.
Isn't it better to keep it and add 93bd4a80efeb ("powerpc/kernel: Fix ppc_save_regs inclusion in build") instead of droping it and keep a bad test that works by chance ?
Makes sense to me too (it worked by a chance for almost a decade). So all or nothing...
Ok, I've done that now, thanks.
