Description
Hi team,
I belong to the IBM Power porting team. We recently developed patches for the latest tagged version of luajit2 [v2.1-20230911], and then built and tested it successfully on ppc64le using the luajit2-test-suite. We would now like to upstream the patches to the master branch [v2.1-agentzh]. Apparently the support for ppc64le currently does not exist in [v2.1-agentzh] because it has been overwritten by Mike Pall's latest changes to luajit master.
Can you tell us if you plan to restore ppc64le support? And is there a way to ensure its not overwritten if there are more changes in future to luajit master?
Thanks.

Research direction
Review the existing ppc64le patches for tagged version v2.1-20230911 and compare them with the v2.1-agentzh branch. Run the luajit2-test-suite on ppc64le to understand the current gap; done means ppc64le support is restored and remains covered against future upstream changes.
