[PATCH 1/9] powerpc: Fix msr setting in 32 bit signal code

2008-06-24 Thread Michael Neuling
If we set the SPE MSR bit in save_user_regs we can blow away the VEC bit. This doesn't matter in reality as they are infact the same bit but looks bad. Also, when we add VSX in a later patch, we need to be able to set two separate MSR bits here. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
