[PATCH] powerpc: add denormalisation exception handling for POWER6/7

2012-09-10 Thread Michael Neuling
On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run. This adds code to handle this deno
