[PATCH 22/27] KVM: PPC: Introduce branch patching helper

From: Alexander Graf <hidden>
Date: 2010-07-01 10:43:12
Also in: kvm
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

We will need to patch several instruction streams over to a different
code path, so we need a way to patch a single instruction with a branch
somewhere else.

This patch adds a helper to facilitate this patching.
