[PATCH V2 08/12] selftests, powerpc: Add test for DSCR SPR numbers

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Jan 13 2015 - 05:23:18 EST


This patch adds a test which verifies that the DSCR privilege and
problem state SPR read & write accesses while making sure that the
results are always the same irrespective of which SPR number is
being used.

+ * When using the privilege state SPR, the instructions such as
