Subject: powerpc/mm: Remove unused register usage in SW TLB miss handling
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=00fcb14703d8322a9c66cb3f48b5c49ac7d43f0a;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

powerpc/mm: Remove unused register usage in SW TLB miss handling

Long ago we had some code that actually used the CTR in the SW TLB
miss handlers (603/e300).  Since we don't use it no reason to waste
cycles saving it off and restoring it (we actually didn't restore it
in the fast path case).
