These patches add support for selecting page size on PPC 44x.
First one adds support for 16K/64K pages while second one adds support
for 256K pages along with some hacks.

Leaving 256K pages aside for now, do you plan to revise the 4/16/64K
page size patch for 2.6.29? KVM gets a huge performance boost from 64K
pages, so I'm anxious to see this go in. I've submitted a few
supporting patches for incidental problems caused by large pages, so I
think it's just down to this patch itself now.
