As best as I can tell the ".machine" directive in trampoline_64.S is no
longer, or never was, necessary.
It was added in commit 0d97631392 ("powerpc: Add purgatory for
kexec_file_load() implementation."), which created the file based on
the kexec-tools purgatory. It may be/have-been necessary in the
kexec-tools version, but we have a completely different build system,
and we already pass the desired CPU flags, eg:
gcc ... -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv2 -Wa,-maltivec -Wa,-mpower4 -Wa,-many
... arch/powerpc/purgatory/trampoline_64.S
So drop the ".machine" directive and rely on the assembler flags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
