Hi Minhang,
Thanks for the v2. Could you please send this as a separate patch in the 
list rather than as a reply to this thread ? This will help the 
maintainer pull in the patch easily :)
Plus I had a nit below, sorry I didn't notice it in the v1 :

Qemu coding style 
(https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/devel/style.html#block-structure) ,
discourages having '{' in the next line after the else.
If you could fix that by using #elif instead of #endif here or keeping 
the entire #if defined(TARGET_PPC64)..#endif within the if 
(mmu_is_64bit(env->mmu_model)) block, that'd be great.
