This part looks wrong: where the old sys_call_table contained
both the native and compat calls side by side, the new table
contains only the compat versions (note that CONFIG_COMPAT is
always set on PPC64). I think you copy-pasted this incorrectly from
one of the other architectures that uses a different layout for the
compat calls.

The way I think this could work best is if you add a preparation
patch that splits out the 64-bit table into two separate ones
(and make sure that works). After that, you can add your
existing patch, rebased to use the two generated tables
instead of the old-style tables. I'll follow up with an untested
patch for illustration.
