If one issue occurs, normally, both sides need improvement.
For our issue:
- need try to keep uapi no touch ("arch/hexagon/uapi/asm/registers.h").
- improving our module is much easier than improving hexagon.
- for 'SP', it is really short enough to like a register name.
SG_POOL seems more suitable for our 'sgpool' related operations.
It will be better to improve hexagon too, but it is not quit easy (maybe
have to bear it), it is uapi :-(
