The issue would be related to phys_mem_access_prot() not doing the right
thing in this case. In fact it looks like the arch/powerpc
page_is_ram() implementation has the same bug that I fixed a long time
ago for arch/ppc in 8b150478 ("[PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot()
work with pfns instead of addresses"). I'll send a patch a little later
that you can try out.
