Viro recently submitted some patches to 2.6 which removed some names space conflicts that existed between asm-ppc/regs.h (also asm-ppc64/regs.h) and various drivers. I'm proposing we remove all non SPRN_ scoped references for SPRs. I'm willing to cleanup the ppc32 side for this change, however I would appreciated someone willing to do the same for PPC64.
I wanted to do it too, but feel free to beat me on that
Let me know if we want to go down this path or if there is some other brilliant idea for resolving the namespace issue. I'm also envious of Viro's ability to get C++ style comments into the linux kernel :)
