[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 9:11] spufs: Fix access mechanism for problem state registers

[Luke Browning]

Fix access mechanism for problem state registers

The current mechanism for providing access to problem state registers
is broken because it relies on the application to invoke spu_run for 
the target context.  This is convenient and it works most of the time
as the library is repeatedly driving spu_run to redrive the context
after processing an spu exception or event.  But, it is wrong as it
assumes that there will be another spu error or exception for the
target context.  There may or may not be.  It is also not desirable
from a performance perspective as it introduces delays into the 
application.  This patch activates the context in spufs_ps_nopfn
regardless of whether the target context is in kernel mode or user
mode.
