A disassembly of interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() shows a useless read
of MSR register. This is shown by r9 being re-used immediately without
doing anything with the value read.
c000e0e0: 60 00 00 00 nop
c000e0e4: 7d 3a c2 a6 mfmd_ap r9
c000e0e8: 7d 20 00 a6 mfmsr r9
c000e0ec: 7c 51 13 a6 mtspr 81,r2
c000e0f0: 81 3f 00 84 lwz r9,132(r31)
c000e0f4: 71 29 80 00 andi. r9,r9,32768
This is due to the use of local_irq_save(). The flags read by
local_irq_save() are never used, use local_irq_disable() instead.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
