Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 6/6] target-arm: cpu.h document why env->spsr exists
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 17:05:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427130344-27986-7-git-send-email-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427130344-27986-1-git-send-email-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

I was getting very confused about the duplication of state so wanted to
make it explicit.
