Yeah, so mn10300 is obviously unaffected by the erratum in question, and
I didn't look for non-x86 architectures for this patch.

But, this code definitely _looks_ like it should be using pte_none(),
especially since mn10300 defines it the same way as x86 (well, as x86
_did_ before this series).

	#define pte_none(x)		(!pte_val(x))
