Subject: [PATCH 1/2] MIPS: Replace some magic numbers with symbolic values in tlbex.c
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 13:48:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242247717-21324-1-git-send-email-ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A0B31C6.9050804@caviumnetworks.com>

The logic used to split the r4000 refill handler is liberally
sprinkled with magic numbers.  We attempt to explain what they are and
normalize them against a new symbolic value (MIPS64_REFILL_INSNS).
