Create an anonymous union for dsisr and esr regsiters, we can reference
esr to get the exception detail when CONFIG_4xx=y or CONFIG_BOOKE=y.
Otherwise, reference dsisr. This makes code more clear.

I'm not sure it is worth doing that.

What is the point in doing the following when you know that regs->esr and regs->dsisr are exactly the same:

> - err = ___do_page_fault(regs, regs->dar, regs->dsisr);
> + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_4xx) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BOOKE))
> + err = ___do_page_fault(regs, regs->dar, regs->esr);
> + else
> + err = ___do_page_fault(regs, regs->dar, regs->dsisr);
> +

Or even

> - int is_write = page_fault_is_write(regs->dsisr);
> + unsigned long err_reg;
> + int is_write;
> +
> + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_4xx) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BOOKE))
> + err_reg = regs->esr;
> + else
> + err_reg = regs->dsisr;
> +
> + is_write = page_fault_is_write(err_reg);


Artificially growing the code for that makes no sense to me.


To avoid anbiguity, maybe the best would be to rename regs->dsisr to something like regs->sr , so that we know it represents the status register, which is DSISR or ESR depending on the platform.
