You can't call a static inline function from ASM, I don't understand you.

What is wrong for you really here ? Is that the fact we leave scv random, or is that the below
IS_ENABLED() ?

I don't mind keeping the 'li r5,0' before calling the function if you find it cleaner, the real
performance gain is with setting scv to 0 below for PPC32 (and maybe it should be set to zero for
book3e/64 too ?).

Other solution would be to do replace (!scv) by (!scv || !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64)) in the
two places it is used in syscall_exit_prepare().

Any preference ?

Thanks
Christophe
