I see these in  arch/powerpc/include/asm/processor.h

#ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
        unsigned long   dscr;
        int             dscr_inherit;
        unsigned long   ppr;    /* used to save/restore SMT priority */
#endif

where there is an 'int' between ppr and dscr. So, should one of
the above sizeof(unsigned long) be changed to sizeof(int) ?

Also, since we use offsetof(struct thread_struct, field) heavily, a
macro local to the file, may simplify the code.

#define	TSO(f)	(offsetof(struct thread_struct, f))

Since the .n = 3 is used more than once, how about a macro for the
number of misc registers ?
