[PATCH 11/14] powerpc: Add wrappers to enable/disable relocation on exceptions

From: Michael Neuling <hidden>
Date: 2012-11-09 06:19:10
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Ian Munsie <redacted>

These wrappers hide the parameters that have to be passed to H_SET_MODE
to enable/disable relocation on during exceptions.

As noted in the comments, since these have partition wide scope, they
may take some time to complete and must be periodically retried until
H_SUCCESS is returned.
