Subject[PATCH] ppc32: Even more preempt fixes
FromBenjamin Herrenschmidt <>
DateTue, 30 Mar 2004 15:33:51 +1000
Add a warning if enable_kernel_{fp,altivec} is called with preempt
enabled since this is always an error, and make sure the alignement
exception handler properly disables preempt when doing FP operations.
Please, apply,
Ben.
