Here's my latest patch set.   It is similar to my previous ones, but it
has bug fixes and has been expanded.   It is built and tested on the
2.6.26-rc3 kernel.  More testing is needed.

hack 1 - Workaround gcc (4.1.1) problem with __weak 'empty' function

[hack 1 is needed to boot if you compiled the kernel with the wrong
toolchain.  I downloaded mine about a month old.  This hack should not
be submitted upstream.]

patch 2 - fix freeing of spu switch log

patch 3 - Fix spu status read in spu_stopped()

patch 4 - Remove class_0_dsisr from spu exception handling.

patch 5 - Fix spu time slice count

patch 6 - Fix synchronization of class 1 exception state.

The stuff above are bug fixes that can go independently of stuff below

patch 7 - Implement deferred queuing for spu class 1 faults

patch 8 - Provide ctxt debug file

patch 9 - Fix access mechanism for problem state registers

patch 10 - Fix interaction between spu exceptions and time slicing

patch 11 - Fix missed stop-n-signal event

Regards, Luke
