Andrew, please hold on this patch, it hasn't been properly discussed with the relevant maintainer, that is Paul Mackerras. I can see matter for debate in there, like the whole duplication of the fast exception return path... It's also touching quite sensitive bits of kernel code (head.S) that needs careful auditing and testing before beeing pushed upstream.
