[PATCH 4/4] ARM: opcodes: Opcode definitions for the Virtualization Extensions

Dave Martin dave.martin at linaro.org
Thu Mar 15 12:32:12 EDT 2012


For now, this patch just adds a definition for the HVC instruction.
More can be added here later, as needed.

Now that we have a real example of how to use the opcode injection
macros properly, this patch also adds a cross-reference from the
explanation in opcodes.h (since without an example, figuring out
how to use the macros is not that easy).
