> The problem is in ret_from_syscall where the check for

> out-of-line to do the flush, and then intends to jump back to continue
> the syscall return.

> However the branch back to label 1b doesn't return to the correct

> The breakage was introduced by commit 6f76a01173cc

> inadvertently removed the "1" label and reused it elsewhere.
> 
> Fix it by adding named local labels in the correct locations. Note that
> the return label needs to be outside the ifdef so that CONFIG_PPC_47x=n
