From 4288e343fb63cd74b35bf68c5d83551f867dba56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2013 02:01:47 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Emulate instructions in little endian mode Alistair noticed we got a SIGILL on userspace mfpvr instructions. Remove the little endian check in the emulation code, it is probably there to protect against the old pseudo little endian implementations but doesn't make sense for real little endian.
