Exception InstructionAccess does not exist on MPC8xx. No need to
branch
quoted
quoted
there from somewhere else.

Handling can be done directly in InstructionTLBError Exception.

Changes in v2:
- None

Changes in v3:
- arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c uses the vector number, so make sure it
understand
quoted
the new ones.

Still don't like that you change the vector number, every other ppc
uses
quoted
quoted
the
standard number.

Can you not just lie here(EXC_XFER_LITE(0x400, handle_page_fault))?
Move the code to InstructionAccess too and let TLBError branch there.
My issue was that if I do EXC_XFER_LITE(0x400, handle_page_fault), I
can't leave the
      EXCEPTION(0x400, InstructionAccess, unknown_exception,
EXC_XFER_STD) at address .400
Otherwise, I get twice the same label.

What about the following patch then ? Would this be acceptable ?

Since this is never generated I think it is OK. Nedds some more commenst
though, why the 401 etc.

You should have the code in TLBMiss and have the TLBError branch there as
that is the common case.
As far as I remember, I tried it already but we don't have enough space 
in TLBmiss for that. We can only have 40 instructions.

If not I think you should keep the old/current way?
