Commit 863771a28e27 ("powerpc/32s: Convert switch_mmu_context() to C")
moved the switch_mmu_context() to C. While in principle a good idea, it
meant that the function now uses the stack. The stack is not accessible
from real mode though.

So to keep calling the function, let's turn on MSR_DR while we call it.
That way, all pointer references to the stack are handled virtually.

Many thanks - this addresses the issue I saw, and has been...

Of the volatile registers, I believe r12 is still valuable here and would need to be preserved.
(I can’t spot any others but would defer to your judgement here.)

For example:
