[pypy-dev] remove-globals-in-jit for ppc backend

[David Edelsohn]

Hi, David

Ivan and Andre from Unicamp and I are trying to update the ppc backend
to the current RPython internals API.

We're trying to understand the removal of fail_boxes_int, etc. from
the backends. It looks like this was done on the remove-globals-in-jit
branch. I guess we need to adapt all of that branch and all of
jitframe-in-heap branch to PPC.

Can you help explain a little more about this patch?
