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

[David Edelsohn]

Maciej,

We are not tracking history one by one. We are trying to fix test
runner failures. And the current failure is a missing reference to
fail_boxes_int. It is not obvious what replaced it by looking at the
current sources, so we are trying to investigate back to the source of
the change.

Thanks, David
