ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.
However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.
Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.
To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

The build is broken with CONFIG_PPC32=y, CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y and
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n.
The problem is that vgacon_remap_base is not defined. It's used in:
#define VGA_MAP_MEM(x,s) (x + vgacon_remap_base)
Which is used in the vga16fb.c code.
Digging down it seems vgacon_remap_base is never initialised. It used to
be, back in arch/ppc (pplus.c and prep_setup.c), but none of that code
ever made it to arch/powerpc.
So given it's been unused for >6 years, remove it.
Whether vga16fb.c works on 32-bit is another question, but this patch
shouldn't affect it.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
