Beware with SPRG3 usage. It's user space visible and we plan to use it for other things (see Anton's patch to stick topology information in there for use by the vdso). If you clobber it, you may want to restore it later. I think Anton's patch should put the "proper" value we want in the PACA anyway since we also need to restore it on exit from KVM, so you can still use it as scratch, just restore the value before going to C.
