PPC ABI requires 16-byte stack alignment, which would be broken by the CONFIG_USE_IRQ section (which even still has an "ARM ABI" comment).
I think this entire function should be kept in arch code. Stack layout is inherently architecture/ABI specific. Some architectures even have a stack that grows upward (not sure if any such are supported by U-Boot).
Thanks for reviewing all this.
While I am working to avoid it, one option is to create a weak function which archs can override. The reason I am keen to avoid it, at least for a first implementation, is that it obscures the similarities. In this case we could just just force 16-byte alignment, and make the PPC code unconditional. It shouldn't hurt anything.
Regards, Simon
