    [PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access. · f0831acc
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
    priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
    to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
    calls.
    
    As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
    access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
    currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
    calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
    makes it easier to hook into.
