+ * This struct defines the way the registers are stored on the
+ * kernel stack during a system call or other kernel entry.
+ *
+ * this should only contain volatile regs
+ * since we can keep non-volatile in the thread_struct
+ * should set this up when only volatiles are saved
+ * by intr code.
+ *
+ * Since this is going on the stack, *CARE MUST BE TAKEN* to insure

+ *
+ * Note that the offsets of the fields in this struct correspond with
+ * the PT_* values below.  This simplifies arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c.
