Can you add some documentation here on why we should use the different
versions.

I'm trying to read the next patch and it's not clear to my why some have
HMT_MEDIUM_NO_PPR and other times HMT_MEDIUM and others
HTM_MEDIUM_HAS_PPR.

Looks like HTM_MEDIUM_NO_PPR sets the priority to medium on systems
where we can't save/restore the PPR, hence it can be called earlier in
the exception handler before we have free GPRs.  HTM_MEDIUM_HAS_PPR
saves the priority on systems where it can, and then sets the priority
to medium.

Maybe we should change the names 
  HTM_MEDIUM_NO_PPR  => HTM_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD   and
  HTM_MEDIUM_HAS_PPR => HTM_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE
But now I'm heading into bike shedding territory... plus I think I
suggested the names you have currently, so I'm feeling a bit dumb now
:-)

No problem, We can change these macro names if HTM_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD/
HTM_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE gives better description.

Right, HTM_MEDIUM_NO_PPR is used on systems where we do not save/restore
PPR. So the behaviour is same as before - just increases the priority.
HTM_MEDIUM_HAS_PPR will be executed on systems where CPU_FTR_HAS_PPR is
enabled. I will write some comments around these macros to make it clear.

We can also name them HMT_MEDIUM_CPU_NO_PPR_SAVE and
HMT_MEDIUM_CPU_HAS_PPR_SAVE since we are enabling PPR save/restore using
CPU_FTR macro.

Otherwise I will follow with your suggestions.


Thanks

Yes, those names are better.

Even though they're macros they act as functions, so they should
preferably be named using a verb.
