Subject[PATCH 03/15] Call spu_acquire_saved() before calculating the SPU note sizes
DateWed, 12 Sep 2007 17:43:41 +1000 (EST)
It makes sense to stop the SPU processes as soon as possible. Also if we
dont acquire_saved() I think there's a possibility that the value in
csa.priv2.spu_lslr_RW won't be accurate.
