Subject: [PATCH 9/9] powerpc: Add CONFIG_VSX config option
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:38:08 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080623073808.8CD8D702A4@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1214206687.690380.817887322840.qpush@coopers>

Add CONFIG_VSX config build option.  Must compile with POWER4, FPU and ALTIVEC.

+	  This option enables kernel support for the Vector Scaler extensions

+	  restoring VSX registers, and turning on the 'VSX enable' bit so user
+	  processes can execute VSX instructions.

+	  VSX (P7 and above), but does not have any affect on a non-VSX
+	  CPUs (it does, however add code to the kernel).
