[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/4xx: Fix erroneous xmon warning on PowerPC 4xx

From: Josh Boyer <hidden>
Date: 2009-09-23 13:51:10
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception
is recoverable.  If it is not, it prints a warning message.  However, the
PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for
every xmon event.

This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception
is recoverable or not.  This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.
