Log:
MFC locore.S:r.1.22, ofw_machdep.c:1.14
> Copy SPRG0-3 registers at boot-time and restore when calling into
> OpenFirmware. FreeBSD/ppc uses SPRG0 as the per-cpu data area pointer,
> and SPRG1-3 as temporary registers during exception handling. There
> have been a few instances where OpenFirmware does require these to
> be part of it's context, such as cd-booting an eMac.
