Ah! I only compiled the objects but didn't link them and thus missed
this error. Well, this is what I get for answering the mailing list in
the middle of the night.

Regardless, for PPC, memcpy_toio() and _memcpy_toio() are the exact
same function and memcpy_fromio() is implemented as:

	#ifdef CONFIG_EEH
	#define __do_memcpy_fromio(dst, src, n)	\
					eeh_memcpy_fromio(dst, src, n)
	#else /* CONFIG_EEH */
	#define __do_memcpy_fromio(dst, src, n)	\
					_memcpy_fromio(dst, src, n)
	#endif /* !CONFIG_EEH */
	
	static inline void memcpy_fromio(void *d, const volatile void __iomem *s, unsigned long n)
	{
		__do_memcpy_fromio(d, s, n);
	}

So also the same as _memcpy_fromio() if CONFIG_EEH is not selected. And
if CONFIG_EEH is selected, using _memcpy_fromio() instead of
eeh_memcpy_fromio() seems incorrect.

I think that the final nail in the curtain is that mpc5xxx is the only
driver in the full tree still using _memcpy_fromio() and
_memcpy_toio().

After replacing both with their memcpy_fromio() and memcpy_toio()
equivalent, I can now build and link without any problem on non
PPC architectures.
