Subject: [PATCH v3 04/21] powerpc: Return the new MSR from msr_check_and_set()
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 13:43:06 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160817034323.23053-5-cyrilbur@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160817034323.23053-1-cyrilbur@gmail.com>

mfmsr() is a fairly expensive call and callers of msr_check_and_set()
may want to make decisions bits in the MSR that it did not change but
may not know the value of.

This patch would avoid a two calls to mfmsr().
