It'd definitely be interesting to see how far you can get by
re-introducing this abstraction into the upstream ppc64 back end.
Oh, wait. My memories of this are slowly returning. Isn't the
Darwin/ppc64 ABI basically the same as the ELF/ppc32 ABI?
For Linux/ppc64 there are more differences in the ABI (most of which you
can see mentioned in the changelog of my git tree, as I started with the
ppc32 back end and made it cope with all the differences).
So no, it does make sense that Darwin/ppc64 uses the old power back end,
while Linux/ppc64 gets its own.
