My pleasure.

Agree. I just forgot to delete this line in the patch.

Yes. Previously BOOKE/4xx tested 0x200, but checked this line history, please see
the commit below:

powerpc: Print DAR and DSISR on machine check oopses

Machine check exceptions set DAR and DSISR, so print them in our
oops output.

0x200 aims to test Machine check, but for 64e, the regs->trap should be 0x000 here,
under the commit comments, I changed the code behavior. Sorry I didn’t add
comments.

Ok. Thanks for pointing this out, let me learn about 4xx.

Yes, would appreciate your sharing.

Agree.
