Re: [PATCH V2 8/8] powerpc: Add the ability to save VSX without giving it up

Also, put the #ifdef junk as part of the function so that the caller
doesn't have to deal with it.=20

Can do absolutely, however this means that in save_all I can't check if t=
he
function needs to be called or not. For example, without CONFIG_VSX, MSR_=
VSX
won't exist which means we might end up calling save_vsx THEN checking MS=
R_VSX
and returning early.
MSR_VSX should exist even without CONFIG_VSX, so you should be able to
do it.
I'm happy to defer to you and mpe on what's nicer, I would side with avoi=
ding
the function call at the cost of ugly #ifdefs but I can always see the me=
rits
of clean code.
I'd prefer the cleanup.  This code has been pretty bad in the past for
being a bit of an #ifdef mess, so it'd be nice to clean it up a bit if
possible.
