Cool!!!

Three things, I have not tested this code yet but I did look over it.

- powerpc64 support is not yet complete, right?

- sys/cddl/dev/dtrace/powerpc/dtrace_asm.S and
sys/cddl/dev/dtrace/powerpc/dtrace_subr.c have some mips leftovers or 
are they intentional? ($FreeBSD, _FBSDID)

- what is the hid.h include for in sys/powerpc/aim/locore32.S?

I'll try to give it a run in the next days.

Thanks a lot for this work!

Andreas
