Unlike said in the comment, r1 is not reused by the critical exception handler, as it uses a dedicated critirq_ctx stack. Decrementing r1 early is then unneeded. Should the above be valid, the code is crap buggy anyway as r1 gets some intermediate values that would jeopardise the whole process (for instance after mfspr r1,SPRN_SPRG_THREAD) Using SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH2 to save r1 is then not needed, r11 can be used instead. This avoids one mtspr and one mfspr and makes the prolog closer to what's done on 6xx and 8xx.
