Please don't mix labels and instructions.
OK.

using tabs instead of spaces would make it look nice. Please also separate the arguments of the instruction i.e.
tlbsx r23, 0, r5

Sure.

The way you setup the 1:1 mapping should be close to what you are doing on
kernel entry.Isn't it possible to include the file here and in the entry
code?

I will make this change and resend the patch.

I took a look at the way we do it at kernel entry. It looks more cleaner to leave
it untouched. Especially, when we add the support for 47x in the future, the code
will become more unreadable.

What do you think ?

Thanks

Suzuki

Thanks
