[ Upstream commit 6735fef14c1f089ae43fd6d43add818b7ff682a8 ]

Stack-passed parameters begin at a different offset in the caller's
stack in the ELFv2 ABI.

This commit is OK on its own, but it doesn't have any effect unless the
full series up to 914d081ead11 ("Revert "powerpc/ps3_defconfig: Disable
PPC64_BIG_ENDIAN_ELF_ABI_V2"") is backported.

I don't think the full series warrants backporting, it's really enabling
a new feature (ELFv2 build for ps3).

So IMHO please drop this patch from 6.6, 6.7, 6.8.

Dropped, thanks!
