Re: Commit 597ce1723 (MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries) causing qemu hang with mips64 kernels

[Huacai Chen]

Hi, Ralf,

Could these two patches be merged in 3.14 (there is an updated
version: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6550/ and
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6551/)?

And by the way, is the V19 of Loongson-3's patchset good enough to be
merged in 3.15?
