Subject: powerpc: Don't pass the stack pointer to zImage's start() function
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 14:46:53 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070316034653.GB12325@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
At present, the zImage entry code passes a copy of the stack pointer
to the start() function. There's no real reason for this; the only
thing start() does with it is print it out. It appears to be a
leftover debugging hack, so, this patch removes it.

Now without a stupid error in the printf(). Please apply.
