I think you just enable qspinlock by default for all PPC platforms. I
guess you need to put
depends on PPC_PSERIES || PPC_POWERNV
here to achieve what you mean in you commit...

[PATCH v8 0/6] Implement qspinlock/pv-qspinlock on ppc
Hi All,
this is the fairlock patchset. You can apply them and build successfully.
patches are based on linux-next
qspinlock can avoid waiter starved issue. It has about the same speed in
single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations
especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be
protected.
v7 -> v8:
add one patch to drop a function call

[PATCH v3 0/6] powerpc use pv-qpsinlock as the default spinlock implemention
change from v2:
__spin_yeild_cpu() will yield slices to lpar if target cpu is running.
remove unnecessary rmb() in __spin_yield/wake_cpu.
__pv_wait() will check the *ptr == val.
some commit message change
change fome v1:
separate into 6 pathes from one patch
some minor code changes.
I do several tests on pseries IBM,8408-E8E with 32cpus, 64GB memory.

[PATCH v5 0/6] powerPC/pSeries use pv-qpsinlock as the default spinlock implemention
change from v4:
BUG FIX. thanks boqun reporting this issue.
struct __qspinlock has different layout in bigendian mahcine.
native_queued_spin_unlock() may write value to a wrong address. now fix it.
sorry for not even doing a test on bigendian machine before!!!
change from v3:
a big change in [PATCH v4 4/6] pv-qspinlock: powerpc support pv-qspinlock
no other patch changed.
