Fixed ppc64 runtime  problem with the kernel v2.6.15-rc5

I made some changes in the ppc64 portion of the runtime (loc2c-runtime.h). This
patch should work with older version of the kernel as well as 2.6.15-rc5.

How is it going on with this patch?  I checked latest CVS and found it hasn't
gone into systemtap yet. So now I have to manually apply this patch in order to
let LKET work for me on 2.6.15.*/ppc64

I planned to check in the fix, but some how it slipped. I am going to check it
in tomorrow.
Thanks.
