PACA isn't a register -- just a convention for how Linux uses a GPR.
Maybe it's time to use it on PPC32 as well?

Doesn't this need to be protected by #ifdef
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE?

This isn't uapi; why not use "u32"?

Plus, it should be made clear that this is only used on 32-bit.

Also needs to be ifdeffed -- which isn't going to work in a macro, so
maybe remove the ifdef from the variable declarations, or just let the
fields be initialized to zero by default.  Or add PACA to 32-bit. :-)
