Subject[RFC PATCH 1/9] powerpc: allocate sys_membarrier system call number
Message-ID<q29MC-3F0-35@gated-at.bofh.it>
Allow it to be used from SPU, since it should not have unwanted
side-effects.

[ Untested on this architecture. To try it out: fetch linux-next/akpm,
  apply this patch, build/run a membarrier-enabled kernel, and do make
  kselftest. ]

Thanks.

I get:

$ ./membarrier_test
membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY syscall available.
membarrier: MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED success.
membarrier: tests done!

Which looks good.

Assuming the membarrier support hits 4.3, I'll take this via my tree for 4.3
also.

cheers

Great! I'll take care of your comments about self-tests,

Thanks,

Thanks. None of them are critical so we can always fix them later.

cheers
