Re: [PATCH 10/10] powerpc: move norestart trap flag to bit 0

Compact the trap flags down to use the low 4 bits of regs.trap.

A few 64e interrupt trap numbers set bit 4. Although they tended to be
trivial so it wasn't a real problem[1], it is not the right thing to do,
and confusing.

[*] E.g., 0x310 hypercall goes to unknown_exception, which prints
     regs->trap directly so 0x310 will appear fine, and only the syscall
     interrupt will test norestart, so it won't be confused by 0x310.

Could we set 0xf for all and remove the ifdef __powerpc64__ ?

While we are playing with ->trap, in mm/book3s64/hash_utils.c there is an if (regs->trap == 0x400). 
Should be TRAP(regs) == 0x400 ?
