Hi Matt,

Thanks for tackling this mess.

I think you want to trim that to powerpc only drivers for now at least.

unsigned long would be nicer than u32.

And ALIGN_DOWN() should work here I think.

And ALIGN?

I'd probably prefer a precursor patch to do the asm -> C conversion, but
I guess that's a pain because then you have to implement both the old
and new logic in C.

Also L1_CACHE_SHIFT is not necessarily == DCACHEL1BLOCKSIZE.

Finally it would be good to see what code the compiler generates out of
this, and see how it compares to the asm version. Not because it's
particularly performance critical (hopefully) but just so we know.

Do you even need dst anymore?

                                                        ^
                  You shouldn't be subtracting 1 any more.
