Is this OK:

    powerpc/e500: SPE register saving: take arbitrary struct offset

    Previously, these macros hardcoded THREAD_EVR0 as the base of the save
    area, relative to the base register passed.  This base offset is now
    passed as a separate macro parameter, allowing reuse with other SPE
    save areas, such as used by KVM.

Also, any comment on http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/88677/?
