The defines in bootinfo.h are not used, so the include can be removed.
According to Ben, birecs are not used on ppc64:
on ppc64, we made the decision of enforcing the presence of an
OF device-tree and either an OF-like client interface or a kexec
like flattened tree.
so if your bootloader want to say things to the kernel,
it can do so by adding properties to the device-tree

On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
