Since at least commit ed1cd6deb013 ("powerpc: Activate 
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK") 
[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ed1cd6d] 
the above comment is wrong and current_is_64bit() is equivalent to 
!is_32bit_task()

See https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/275
