Nice work.

I'm not sure I'm big on the cut here marker.

It looks like if you do this you _might_ be able to share struct
bug_entry, or at least have consistent members for each arch. Which
would eliminate some of the inlines you have for accessing the bug
struct.

It needed a bit of work to get going on powerpc:
