    powerpc: Fix definition of SIAR and SDAR registers · d23fac2b
    Thomas Huth authored
    The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs
    780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs
    796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code
    currently uses the unprivileged  SPRs - while this is OK for reading,
    writing to that register of course does not work.
    Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr
    in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get
    lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM.
    To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead.
