[PATCH 4/4] powerpc: New reg.h for the zImage

David Gibson david at gibson.dropbear.id.au
Thu Mar 22 17:02:21 EST 2007


This patch adds a reg.h to the zImage code, with common definitions
for accessing system reigsters.  For now, this includes functions for
retreiving the PVR and the stack pointer.  This patch then uses the
new reg.h to let start() display the running stack address without
having to explicitly pass the stack as a parameter from the asm code.
