3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 11a3799dbeb620bf0400b1fda5cc2c6bea55f20a upstream.
Fix a regression introduced with commit fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Support handling of delay slots.") and defer to `__compute_return_epc'
if the ISA bit is set in EPC with non-MIPS16, non-microMIPS hardware,
which will then arrange for a SIGBUS due to an unaligned instruction
reference. Returning EPC here is never correct as the API defines this
function's result to be either a negative error code on failure or one
of 0 and BRANCH_LIKELY_TAKEN on success.
Fixes: fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS: Support handling of delay slots.")
