Oh nice!  So this should become

	.lcomm fee_restarts,4,4

for the local symbols, and

	.globl fee_restarts
	.lcomm fee_restarts,4,4

for the global ones.  Kumar: the parameters here are size,align;
and it takes an alignment in bytes, not in power-of-two like
.align does on powerpc.  Which is a good thing, considering that
you messed up the log-alignment for global_dcbr0 in the original
patch ;-)
