[IA64] Make gp value point to Region 5 in mca handler
MCA dispatch code take physical address of GP passed from SAL, then call DATA_PA_TO_VA twice on GP before call into C code. The first time is in ia64_set_kernel_register, the second time is in VIRTUAL_MODE_ENTER. The gp is changed to a virtual address in region 7 because DATA_PA_TO_VA is implemented by dep instruction. However when notify blocks were called from MCA handler code, because notify blocks are supported by callback function pointers, gp value value was switched to region 5 again. The patch set gp register to kernel gp of region 5 at entry of MCA dispatch. Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
