Great - I have pushed the commits out into the locking tree, they can be found in:

  git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking/core

The PowerPC preparatory commit from you is:

  0476a632cb3a: locking/atomics/powerpc: Move cmpxchg helpers to asm/cmpxchg.h and define the full set of cmpxchg APIs

Thanks,
