Bug report

In the embedded 2.2.5 sources i found the following in
arch/ppc/kernel/ppc-stub.c


static inline void set_msr(int msr)
{
	asm volatile("mfmsr %0" : : "r" (msr));
}

Shouldn't that be mtmsr?

Yes....Fortunately, it is only used in the kgbd portion of the
kernel, so normal operations are not affected.
