Public bug reported:
On ppc64 we notice each process calls mfpvr twice. This faults and gets
emulated in the kernel.
We have counters to track this:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/mfpvr
2370
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/mfpvr
2372
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/mfpvr
2374
This was traced back to an 8xx workaround for a dcbz issue.
