[PATCH 47/63] pseries: Add H_SET_MODE to change exception endianness

Anton Blanchard anton at samba.org
Wed Aug 7 02:02:04 EST 2013


On little endian builds call H_SET_MODE so exceptions have the
correct endianness. We need a better hook to handle flipping back
into big endian mode on a kexec, but insert it into the mmu
teardown callback for now.
