powerpc asm-prototypes.h seems odd

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hi.

Lots of powerpc files include <asm/asm-prototypes.h>,
and powerpc is the only architecture that does this.

<asm/asm-prototypes.h> exists to support modversion for asm.
So, it is supposed to be parsed by genksysms, not to be
included from other files.  Right?


$  git grep  asm/asm-prototypes.h
