Wow, lib/mpi/ is a complete horror: it's full of hand crafted asm code.
The error in this case appears to be that umul_ppm() is implemented as
an xmpyu instruction.  That's a floating point instruction.  We
deliberately compile the kernel with floating point disabled because we
don't want to save and restore the floating point register file on each
context switch, hence the operand constraints are unsatisfiable.

It appears to be completely untested on non-x86 and to have been
imported via the security tree ... what are we supposed to do with this?
I thought the general principle was that asm code was really supposed to
be confined to the arch directories?

Yes.. it is suxx.
But it is only longlong.h and inherited from gpg..
And now there is a stuff such as /include/math-emu/soft-fp and
<stdlib/longlong.h>
I planned to look to that but now I will start doing it right away.

Thanks. These are all freescale platforms, the relevant people should be
already but I've added Scott and Kumar to the CC list just in case.

I haven't tried this but I think the parisc implementation of umul_ppmm
can be deleted.  There is a generic version in the file.

Seeing how this is my code, I'd say the relevant people were not CC'd. :-)

Anyway, I think I see what the problem is, but it does appear when I use
the normal defconfigs.  What .config was being used?

So I think I have a fix for these, but I still would like the actual
.config so that I can be sure.

>> use in this function):  => 799:80

I can't reproduce this one.  MSR_GS is defined in reg_booke.h.
fsl_hypervisor.c should not be compiled on a non-booke platform.  I don't
know if the fix is to add this to fsl_hypervisor.c:

	#include <asm/reg_booke.h>

or if I should update the Kconfig:

config FSL_HV_MANAGER
	tristate "Freescale hypervisor management driver"
	depends on FSL_SOC

to

	depends on FSL_BOOKE

or maybe

	depends on FSL_BOOKE && FSL_SOC

Doesn't this generate a different .config every time it's run?  Do I keep
