With the introduction of radix MMU in Power ISA 3.0, there are changes
in kernel page table management accommodating it. This patch series
makes appropriate changes here to work for such kernels. Also, this
series fixes a few bugs along the way. Patches successfully tested on
BOOK3S. It would be great if someone can test these patches on BOOK3E.
The changes effecting BOOK3E are minimal though.
