I originally tried it, but this leads to:

CC arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.o
In file included from arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:16:0:
./arch/powerpc/include/asm/xor.h:39:15: error: variable
âxor_block_altivecâ has initializer but incomplete type
static struct xor_block_template xor_block_altivec = {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./arch/powerpc/include/asm/xor.h:40:2: error: unknown field ânameâ
specified in initializer
.name = "altivec",
^
[...]

The file <asm/xor.h> (powerpc) is pretty much expected to be included
after <include/linux/raid/xor.h>.

I did not want to tweak <asm/xor.h> to test for #ifdef _XOR_H just before

#ifdef _XOR_H
static struct xor_block_template xor_block_altivec = {
[...]

since this seems like a hack to me.

Is this ok to test for #ifdef _XOR_H in <arch/powerpc/include/asm/xor.h> ?
