Drop a bunch of #ifdefs CONFIG_PPC64 that are not vital.

As Andreas pointed out this is not safe as this is a uapi header.

Ok, dropped

I'd also rather leave that as it is.

There's a slim chance it could break some code that already has either
of those defined.

If you need them both defined to make other code work in the kernel
that's fine, in the kernel header we can do:

// Ensure these are always defined inside the kernel to avoid #ifdefs
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
#define PT_MQ 39
#else
#define PT_SOFTE 39
#endif

Ok.

Only the PT_SOFTE is missing, I added the following in the relevant case:

#define PT_SOFTE PT_MQ



#define PT_TRAP 40
#define PT_DAR 41
#define PT_DSISR 42

Pretty sure that will cause breakage. The offset is ABI.

Ok, dropped
