3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: James Bottomley <jbottom...@parallels.com>
commit b3cb8674811d1851bbf1486a73d62b90c119b994 upstream.
Due to an errata, the PA7300LC generates a TLB miss interruption even on the
prefetch instruction. This means that prefetch(NULL), which is supposed to be
a nop on linux actually generates a NULL deref fault. Fix this by testing the
address of prefetch against NULL before doing the prefetch.
