The driver is only intended to work on amd64; I can accept PowerPC64 but we don't want to support this driver on 32-bit architectures.

Ok, enabling it only on PowerPC64 is fine with me.

Looks good to me. Nice job fixing it in powerpc64!

I'm generally okay with this, but with the caveat that we can't test to make sure any future changes we make will work on anything other than amd64.

Ok, I understand. We have a PowerPC64 machine with a X710 NIC that is now using this driver and that some PPC developers will be using, so hopefully we'll be able to test the driver and report/fix issues and regressions, although we use only basic networking functionality.
