Hi Daniel,

Yes, i remember the observer's problem in that discussion, but as the
thread stopped abruptly, i didn't have a clear idea of the way it
should've been done.

I added the ppc piece together with the s390's, ia64's and amd64's code
in the first patch. I believe the second one is a bit more complicated
because it works with bits and pieces of the i386 code, which i'm not
really familiar with, so it was a plain refresh of Jeff's patch. If i
can be of any help on those, feel free to contact me in the available
ways, i'm on IRC as well.

Looking forward to your comments. Thanks for reviewing it.

Regards,
