#     powerpc: update ppc_save_regs to save current r1 in pt_regs
#     
#     ppc_save_regs() skips one stack frame while saving the CPU register states.
#     Instead of saving current R1, it pulls the previous stack frame pointer.
#     
#     When vmcores caused by direct panic call (such as `echo c >
#     /proc/sysrq-trigger`), are debugged with gdb, gdb fails to show the
#     backtrace correctly. On further analysis, it was found that it was because
#     of mismatch between r1 and NIP.
#     
#     GDB uses NIP to get current function symbol and uses corresponding debug
#     info of that function to unwind previous frames, but due to the
#     mismatching r1 and NIP, the unwinding does not work, and it fails to
#     unwind to the 2nd frame and hence does not show the backtrace.
#     
#     GDB backtrace with vmcore of kernel without this patch:
#     
#     ---------
#     (gdb) bt
#      #0  0xc0000000002a53e8 in crash_setup_regs (oldregs=<optimized out>,
#         newregs=0xc000000004f8f8d8) at ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/kexec.h:69
#      #1  __crash_kexec (regs=<optimized out>) at kernel/kexec_core.c:974
#      #2  0x0000000000000063 in ?? ()
#      #3  0xc000000003579320 in ?? ()
#     ---------
#     
#     Further analysis revealed that the mismatch occurred because
#     "ppc_save_regs" was saving the previous stack's SP instead of the current
#     r1. This patch fixes this by storing current r1 in the saved pt_regs.

#     --------
#     
#     Nick adds:
#       So this now saves regs as though it was an interrupt taken in the
#       caller, at the instruction after the call to ppc_save_regs, whereas
#       previously the NIP was there, but R1 came from the caller's caller and
#       that mismatch is what causes gdb's dwarf unwinder to go haywire.
