SubjectRe: [PATCH] microblaze: nommu: Don't clobber R11 on syscalls

Can you please look if is even possible to remove that one line below?
( I mean line 212 - lwi r11, r0, PER_CPU(KM) */
Interrupt rutine don't have it too. I am pretty sure that we can remove
that line too.

Thanks for testing,
Michal
