Subject: [ 006/122] powerpc: Add "memory" attribute for mfmsr()

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tiejun Chen <tiejun.chen@...driver.com>

commit b416c9a10baae6a177b4f9ee858b8d309542fbef upstream.

Add "memory" attribute in inline assembly language as a compiler
barrier to make sure 4.6.x GCC don't reorder mfmsr().
