Attached.

Most of it is trivial - identical to arch/*.

The bit in arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S was necessary for me to compile
this for a ppc 405gp based system, gcov would grow the kernel beyond
the relative jump distance for "bnel syscall_trace".

Paulus, Ben, is the relative jump a wanted optimization or unclean
code that went unnoticed so far? IOW should this go into mainline or
remain part of the gcov patch?
