Why #ifndef zero_bytemask ?. What will override zero_bytemask defined in
arch headers. We generally do it such that generic code does #ifndef, but arch
headers doesn't need to do this.

zero_bytemask is not implemented on PowerPC. So copy the zero_bytemask
of BIG_ENDIAN implementation from include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h
to arch/powerpc/include/asm/word-at-a-time.h.


Thanks; a fix is already queued for Linus.
