Caused by commit bc8cc4993e19 ("PPC: use CURRENT_THREAD_INFO instead =

of

open coded assembly").  The fact that this patch has problems was =

already

pointed out on the linuxppc-dev mailing list and it clearly hasn't =

I have used the version of the kvm-ppc tree from next-20120703 for =

today.

Ah, yes, thanks. I kept the old, broken version in my tree to make sure =
I have the dependencies for (and don't forget) the (hopefully good) =
patches that follow on top, but was planning to replace it once we have =
a new version of the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO one.

Stuart, could you please send a new version of the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO =
patch?
