Hi Anders,

Thanks for these, just a few comments below ...

As Segher said it'd be cleaner without the embedded quotes.

It's not visible from the diff, but the above two are __do_in_asm and
__do_out_asm and are inside an ifdef CONFIG_PPC32.

AFAICS they're only used for:

__do_in_asm(_rec_inb, "lbzx")
__do_in_asm(_rec_inw, "lhbrx")
__do_in_asm(_rec_inl, "lwbrx")
__do_out_asm(_rec_outb, "stbx")
__do_out_asm(_rec_outw, "sthbrx")
__do_out_asm(_rec_outl, "stwbrx")

Which are all old instructions, so I don't think we need the machine
power6 for those two macros?

This was actually present in an older CPU, but it doesn't really matter,
this is fine.

cheers
