So, here's what I don't understand. On ARM, in general, we can't rely on the global data pointer register (r8) to be set to a useful value, so we do the above to ensure it points to something useful. Are you always able to rely on r2 it looks like pointing to something useful? Or do you take care of this much earlier on in powerpc?
