Hi Jeroen,

(added York to cc as he introduced CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA with 
patch 2a1680e3 [common/board_f: Initialized global data for generic board])

powerpc doesn't define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA right now. And I'm 
not sure which powerpc boards use the common board_f/_r functions right 
now. Perhaps York knows?

Other than that I don't any problems, so:
