Subject: [PATCH][for 2.6.28] powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix problem with _tlbil_va being interrupted

From: Kumar Gala <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:33:03 -0600

An example calling sequence which we did see:

copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va

We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.

Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.
