Subject: [PATCH 1/9] powerpc: Fix msr setting in 32 bit signal code
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:13:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080620041352.3B70F70292@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1213935232.194904.168421502953.qpush@coopers>

If we set the SPE MSR bit in save_user_regs we can blow away the VEC
bit.  This will never happen in reality (VMX and SPE will never be in
the same processor as their opcodes overlap), but it looks bad.  Also
when we add VSX here in a later patch, we can hit two of these at the
same time.
