[PATCH v4] powerpc 8xx: Fixing issue with CONFIG_PIN_TLB

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2013-09-24 08:18:44
Also in: lkml

Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB is supposed to pin the IMMR and the first three
8Mbytes pages. But the setting of MD_CTR to a pinnable entry was missing before
the pinning of the third 8Mb page. As the index is decremented module 28
(MD_RSV4D is set) after every DTLB update, the third 8Mbytes page was
not pinned.
