[PATCH] ppc64: EEH fixes for POWER5 machines (2/2)
From: Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com> This patch fixes the usage of the slot-error-detail log buffer for the Power5 architecture. The size of the error buffer is variable, and the correct size to use should have been obtained from firmware. Failure to use the correct buffer sizes will result in hard-to-debug system lockups deep in firmware. This patch is based on an earlier patch from Ben Herrenschmidt, which essentially did the same thing. This patch also tweaks some of the subroutine documentation.
