This doesn't compile on 32-bit:
Failed: powerpc-next/corenet32_smp_defconfig/powerpc-5.3
(http://kisskb.ozlabs.ibm.com/kisskb/buildresult/13314085/log/)
/kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c:105:12: error: invalid type
argument of '->' (have 'int')
/kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c:98:12: error: invalid type

/kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c:98:2: error: implicit
declaration of function 'get_paca' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
A wrapper is probably best that does nothing on 32-bit.
cheers
