05b841174c [PATCH] spufs: add spu-side context switch code
Add the source code that is used to generate spu_save_dump.h and
spu_restore_dump.h. Since a full spu tool chain is needed to
generate these files, the default remains to use the shipped
versions in order to keep the number of tools for building the
kernel down.

5473af049d [PATCH] spufs: switchable spu contexts
Add some infrastructure for saving and restoring the context of an
SPE. This patch creates a new structure that can hold the whole
state of a physical SPE in memory. It also contains code that
avoids races during the context switch and the binary code that
is loaded to the SPU in order to access its registers.

The actual PPE- and SPE-side context switch code are two separate
patches.

67207b9664 [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.

This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.

The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.
