Not sure how the 970 bit worked, but this seems a bit problematic for switching between kernel and application for how we do this on e500mc/e5500. We'd have to touch the control bit on every exception path which seems ugly to me. - k _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
