[65/90] sparc: Dont do expensive hypervisor PCR write unless necessary.

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 314ff52727fe94dfbe07f3a9a489ab3ca8d8df5a ]

The hypervisor call is only necessary if hypervisor events are
being requested.

So if we're not tracking hypervisor events, simply do a direct
register write.
