ucSystemType is a variable that is EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed but never used in 
any way.

_prep_type is a variable that is needlessly EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed.

But prep_init points to the real problem:

CONFIG_PPC_PREP requires code from arch/ppc/platforms/, but this 
directory is never visited.

What is the correct fix?
Migrate the code from arch/ppc/platforms/ to arch/powerpc/platforms/ ?
