[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] spufs: Avoid restarting MFC in context saving

Silly me, was under the (incorrect) impression that "suspend_mfc" was 
where we suspend the mfc :)

Looking closer, you're exactly right. I think we should set Sm in 
save_mfc_cntl(), after we've saved the register to the csa. How does 
that sound?

I can do up a patch if you prefer.

Cheers,
