Emulators such as BDI2000 and CodeWarrior needs to have MSR_DE set
in order to support break points.
This adds MSR_DE for kernel space only.

I have tested this briefly with BDI2000 on P2010(e500) and
it works for me. I don't know if there are any bad side effects, therfore

I'm not sure whether it makes sense to add this dependency to avoid
CONFI_NUMA && !CONFIG_SMP.
I want to do this because I saw some build errors on next-tree when
compiling with CONFIG_SMP disabled, and it seems they are caused by some
codes under the CONFIG_NUMA #ifdefs.

Hello,
I'm working on a P1021MDS based board and I have a strange behaviour
regarding the TX packets from the gianfar driver (linux 3.0.4-rc5).
Rx is working correctly but Tx is not... in particular I noticed that
the buffer descriptors are correctly filled but the packets simply do

Hi,
We have seen the following kernel panic, happened during loading a kernel
module:
[ 536.107430] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address
0xd76a907c
[ 536.114922] Faulting instruction address: 0xc770
[ 536.119891] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11
(I apologise for this not having much to do with linux...)
We have a system with an MPC8315 ppc running linux 2.6.32
that uses the PCI express interface in RC mode to interface
to an Altera FPGA.
This uses both PIO and the PEX DMA interfaces (locally
written dma driver).
Under normal circumstances

You're right, of course; I was focusing on discovery/probing, and
completely forgot about "provided information".

The form affinity for NUMA is set to 1 if the firmware supports
OPAL. Otherwise, we have to retrieve that from OF node "/chosen".
For the latter case, OF node "/chosen" was referred without
dereferencing.
The patch dereference OF node "/chosen" if necessary.

While creating the PCI root bus through function pci_create_root_bus()
of PCI core, it should have assigned the secondary bus number for the
newly created PCI root bus. Thus we needn't do the explicit assignment
for the secondary bus number again in pcibios_scan_phb().

Version 2.06 of the POWER ISA introduced enhanced touch instructions,
allowing us to specify a number of attributes including the length of

This patch adds a software stream for both loads and stores in the

and we have t
