Hi. I posted this before, but I don't see it in any of your powerpc.git
trees. Can you push this upstream ASAP? It would make life easier for me
trying to merge some more generic changes (that would break powerpc builds
without this going in first).
Thanks,
Roland

[PATCH] powerpc copy_siginfo_from_user32
Define the copy_siginfo_from_user32 entry point for powerpc, so
that generic CONFIG_COMPAT code can call it. We already had the
code rolled into compat_sys_rt_sigqueueinfo, this just moves it
out into the canonical function that other arch's define.
