Oh, it seems EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 will save the regesters which related
with CFAR, so I think need move EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 to near 0x900.

It seems that the machine can be bootup in powernv mode, but I'm not 
sure if my machine call that module.

At lease my machine can boot up

Thanks

Thank you for your information !

I have checked the disassemble by powerpc64-linux-gnu-objdump, it seems
all we have done for 0x900 is almost like the original done for 0x200.

I am just learning about the CFAR (google it), And I plan to wait for a
day, if all things go smoothly, I will send patch v3.

Please reference commit number: 1707dd161349e6c54170c88d94fed012e3d224e3
(1707dd1 powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry paths)

What our diff v2 has done is just the fix for our patch v2 (just like
the commit 1707dd1 has done).

Please check, thanks.

I think the diff v2 is correct, but is not the best one for this issue.

I prefer the Paul's patch for this issue which has better performance
