[PATCH 2/4] powerpc: Remove static branch prediction in 64bittraced syscall path

From: Anton Blanchard
Date: Tue Jan 08 2013 - 18:47:26 EST



Some distros enable auditing by default which forces us through the
syscall trace path. Remove the static branch prediction in our 64bit
syscall handler and let the hardware do the prediction.
