Linux has a few PowerPC-specific symbols which are marked as GPL exports; these symbols wound up being exposed in Linux 5.12 and are needed by OpenZFS. The symbol licensing was fixed in mainline 5.19; this commit backports the fix to all previous affected kernels. This commit is required in order to build the NixOS ISO for PowerPC64.
