    [POWERPC] perfmon2: make pm_interval register read/write · 29641ce1
    Kevin Corry authored
    The pm_interval register in the Cell PMU is read/write, but was implemented in
    the kernel as write-only. Previously, the written value was saved in a "shadow"
    copy so calls to cbe_read_pm() could return the value.
    
    Perfmon2 needs to be able to read the current values of pm_interval, so change
    cbe_read_pm() to read the actual register instead of the "shadow" copy. There
    is currently no code in the kernel that tries to read the pm_interval register
    with cbe_read_pm() (expecting to receive the "shadow" value), so this should
    not break any existing code.
