Conflicting addr value between v6 and v7 for do_PrefetchAbort()

I was messing around in this code, talking with someone else about it,
and I discovered that the addr parameter do do_PrefetchAbort() is
different on v6 and v7. For v7 we have:
ENTRY(v7_pabort)
mrc p15, 0, r0, c6, c0, 2 @ get IFAR
mrc p15, 0, r1, c5, c0, 1 @ get IFSR
b do_PrefetchAbort
ENDPROC(v7_pabort)
And for v6:
ENTRY(v6_pabort)
mov r0, r4
mrc p15, 0, r1, c5, c0, 1 @ get IFSR
b do_PrefetchAbort
ENDPROC(v6_pabort)
For v7 that's the address that was accessed to cause the fault. For v6
that appears to be the address of the instruction that caused the
fault. Am I right here? Which of these is correct?
I see
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2009-September/001051.html
which adds this and
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-June/055019.html
which sets it to r4 for the v6. But you get different values in addr
depending on whether it is v6 or v7.
Thanks,
