Problems with macros LOAD_REG_ADDR and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE

[Mitesh R. Meswani]

I am having issues using LOAD_REG_ADDR and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE macros on a ppc64 kernel which I have tried on both 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 kernels. 

I noticed that these macros by default loading value 0 instead of the actual address. Is this a bug of the compiler that can be fixed, I noticed when I did objdump for head_64.S on the following function 
_GLOBAL(pSeries_secondary_smp_init) for the following instruction : LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r13, paca)   /* Get base vaddr of paca array  */    I noticed this in some calls, whereas some calls seem to get symbol address.
