Probably because HVCS was previously only showing up on ppc64 (not
powerpc64), perhaps due to a dependency.  See the before and after
of applying Andy's patch:

Before:
(precise)adconrad at sagari:~/old/linux-3.2.0$ grep HVCS CONFIGS/*
CONFIGS/ppc64-config.flavour.powerpc64-smp:CONFIG_HVCS=m
After:
(precise)adconrad at sagari:~/old/linux-3.2.0$ grep HVCS ../../linux-3.2.0/CONFIGS/*
../../linux-3.2.0/CONFIGS/powerpc-config.flavour.powerpc64-smp:CONFIG_HVCS=y
../../linux-3.2.0/CONFIGS/ppc64-config.flavour.powerpc64-smp:CONFIG_HVCS=y

Note that ppc64-* != powerpc-* (we don't actually build the former
right now, only the latter).
