This ifdef if not necessary for now, it doesn't matter if __P000 etc
still exist thought not used.

There is not much point is first additing that here and then move it
elsewhere in the second patch.

I think with my suggestion to use #ifdef __P000 as a guard, the powerpc
changes could go in a single patch.

You should use #ifdef __P000 instead, that way you could migrate
architectures one by one.
