[ 003/180] powerpc/pmac: Fix SMP kernels on pre-core99 UP machines

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Mon Oct 01 2012 - 20:09:43 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 78c5c68a4cf4329d17abfa469345ddf323d4fd62 upstream.

The code for "powersurge" SMP would kick in and cause a crash
at boot due to the lack of a NULL test.

Adam Conrad reports that the 3.2 kernel, with CONFIG_SMP=y, will not
boot on an OldWorld G3; we're unconditionally writing to psurge_start,
but this is only set on powersurge machines.
