Tiejun,

I'm a little confused by these patches, because the actual critical
exception handlers are still commented out:

/* Critical Input Interrupt */
	START_EXCEPTION(critical_input);
	CRIT_EXCEPTION_PROLOG(0x100, BOOKE_INTERRUPT_CRITICAL,
			      PROLOG_ADDITION_NONE)
//	EXCEPTION_COMMON(0x100, PACA_EXCRIT, INTS_DISABLE)
//	bl	special_reg_save_crit
//	CHECK_NAPPING();
//	addi	r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
//	bl	.critical_exception
//	b	ret_from_crit_except
	b	.

Are you working on fixing this?  I'm trying to fix it, too, but I
think you're way ahead of me.
