Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] powerpc: Add new save_tar() register function.
Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 12:33:55 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375929237-19944-2-git-send-email-mikey@neuling.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375929237-19944-1-git-send-email-mikey@neuling.org>
In-Reply-To: <25550.1375872955@ale.ozlabs.ibm.com>
Add save_tar() function to save the Target Address Register (TAR). This will
be used in a future patch to save the TAR earlier than it currently is.
