The first instruction in ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY is 'beq' which checkes for
exceptions coming from kernel mode. PPR value will be saved immediately after
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY and is also for user level exceptions. So moved this
branch instruction in the caller code.
grep fail ? ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY is used in exception-64e.S as well,
so that needs to be updated too.
Sorry, I will make this change.
Cheers,
Ben.
