Doesn't sound like -rc (release canidate) changes.

Well, SRR1 doesn't cause traps, but it does help tell you why they occurred.
And the FIX_SRR1 stuff isn't the solution either if you look at it closer.
How about a decoded oops?  Also, you didn't say what platform you were using.

As far as the open-pic changes you posted, how about explaining what your
trying to fix (partly hidden by the rename and move to chrp_setup.c from
open_pic.c)?

I see you are wrapping the 8259 checks, but it also refers to a few new
functions/macros I didn't see defined.

How about discussing these problems and patches over at
linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org ? (I set the reply-to there).
