[PATCH] powerpc: mtspr/mtmsr should take an unsigned long

[PATCH] powerpc: mtspr/mtmsr should take an unsigned long

[Scott Wood]

Add a cast in case the caller passes in a different type, as it would
if mtspr/mtmsr were functions.

Previously, if a 64-bit type was passed in on 32-bit, GCC would bind the
constraint to a pair of registers, and would substitute the first register
in the pair in the asm code.  This corresponds to the upper half of the
64-bit register, which is generally not the desired behavior.

If you're wondering why you'd pass a 64-bit value to one of these macros
on 32-bit, it came up when trying to load an SPR from kvm_vcpu_arch_shared.
