OK, I forgot two semicolons in avm_pci.c and missed one
instance to be changed in fore200e.c. Fixed here.
Additions are patches to ibmphp_hpc.c and ibmphp_res.c,
directly from 2.6 (csets noted as sparse fixes).

New patch v.2a attached,  again to be applied on top of
2.4.27-rc5 + Mikael's gcc3.4 patches.
