IBM bit 31 (for the rest of us - bit 0) is a reserved field in the instruction definition of mtspr and mfspr. Hardware is encouraged to (and does) ignore it. As a result, if userspace executes an mtspr DSCR with the reserved bit set, we get a DSCR facility unavailable exception. The kernel fails to match against the expected value/mask, and we silently return to userspace to try and re-execute the same mtspr DSCR instruction. We loop forever until the process is killed. We should do something here, and it seems mirroring what hardware does is the better option vs killing the process. While here, relax the matching of mfspr PVR too.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
