[Mono-dev] ppc64 port

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

Unfortunately this has been a monologue lately...

New mono/ patch snapshot in Bugzilla:
I now fixed some places where the new ppc_load_reg macros etc. were  
not yet used, and I tried interpreting functions as function  
descriptors introducing another macro, ppc_load_func.

I really need some review and feedback there:
* Is there anything in good shape already that can be separated out  
and committed?
* Are there any obvious errors that need to be fixed?
* Please, Paolo, explain the remaining suggestions from your message!
* Any ideas where it's failing and how to further improve?

Thanks,

Andreas
