hello,
The implementation of pte_offset_map() for ppc assumes that PTEs are
kept in highmem (CONFIG_HIGHPTE). There is only one implmentation of
pte_offset_map() as follows (include/asm-ppc/pgtable.h):

#define pte_offset_map(dir, addr)               \
         ((pte_t *) kmap_atomic(pmd_page(*(dir)), KM_PTE0) + pte_index(addr))

Shouldn't this be made conditional according to CONFIG_HIGHPTE is
defined or not

kmap_atomic is always defined with or without CONFIG_HIGHPTE.

(as implemented in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h) ?

I don't think that needs it either.

Andreas.
