I think this is a good thing to do ultimately, but if you do this you
also need to fix arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S:
#ifdef CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
#ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
#define FIND_PTE \
rlwinm r12, r10, 13, 19, 29; /* Compute pgdir/pmd offset */ \
lwzx r11, r12, r11; /* Get pgd/pmd entry */ \
rlwinm. r12, r11, 0, 0, 20; /* Extract pt base address */ \
blt 1000f; /* Normal non-huge page */ \
beq 2f; /* Bail if no table */ \
oris r11, r11, PD_HUGE@h; /* Put back address bit */ \
andi. r10, r11, HUGEPD_SHIFT_MASK@l; /* extract size field */ \
xor r12, r10, r11; /* drop size bits from pointer */ \
b 1001f; \
and this, from arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_low_64e.S:
cmpdi cr0,r14,0
bge tlb_miss_fault_bolted /* Bad pgd entry or hugepage; bail */
(of which there are several similar instances in that file).
If you want to avoid fixing these bits of assembly code (and any
others I missed in my quick scan), you'll need to keep the definition
of PD_HUGE, at least on anything not 64-bit Book3S.
Paul.
