Re: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: tell if a bad page fault on data is read or write.

DSISR has a bit to tell if the fault is due to a read or a write.

Except some CPUs don't have a DSISR?

Which is why we have page_fault_is_write() that's used in
__do_page_fault().

Or is that old cruft?

I see eg. in head_40x.S we pass r5=0 for error code, and we don't set
regs->dsisr anywhere AFAICS. So it might just contain some junk.

But then we have a problem with show_regs() as well, havent't we ?

	if (trap == 0x200 || trap == 0x300 || trap == 0x600)
#if defined(CONFIG_4xx) || defined(CONFIG_BOOKE)
		pr_cont("DEAR: "REG" ESR: "REG" ", regs->dar, regs->dsisr);
#else
		pr_cont("DAR: "REG" DSISR: %08lx ", regs->dar, regs->dsisr);
#endif

I need to look closer.
