Hi Alexander,

After merging the kvm-ppc tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:479: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:486: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:486: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:487: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:487: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:494: Error: wrong number of operands
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:494: Error: wrong number of operands

Caused by commit bc8cc4993e19 ("PPC: use CURRENT_THREAD_INFO instead of
open coded assembly").  The fact that this patch has problems was already
pointed out on the linuxppc-dev mailing list and it clearly hasn't been
build tested.

I have used the version of the kvm-ppc tree from next-20120703 for today.
