From 71ee8e34fe26252b11668a95708783ec9c58cbda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:48:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: PPC: Introduce branch patching helper We will need to patch several instruction streams over to a different code path, so we need a way to patch a single instruction with a branch somewhere else. This patch adds a helper to facilitate this patching.
