So instead of spreading these empty prototypes around mmu_context.h 
files, why not add something like this to the PPC definition:

 #define __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP

and define the empty prototype for everyone else? It's a bit like how 
the __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_* namespace works.

That should shrink this patch considerably.

Thanks,

	Ingo
