I am hoping not, but when I wrote this patch gcc suddenly jumped at me claiming that the whole struct can get used uninitialized:

arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c: In function ‘kvmppc_mmu_map’:
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c:533: error: ‘stlbe.mas1’ may be used uninitialized in this function
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c:533: error: ‘stlbe.mas2’ may be used uninitialized in this function
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c:533: error: ‘stlbe.mas7_3’ may be used uninitialized in this function
arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c:533: error: ‘stlbe.mas8’ may be used uninitialized in this function

If you have any idea where this could come from, please let me know :).

Yeah, I mostly wanted to refrain from touching 440 code. But if you prefer that, I can certainly do so :).

Consider me as confused as you are.
