By default, TASK_SIZE is set to 0x80000000 for PPC_8xx, which is most likely
sufficient for most cases. However, kernel configuration allows to set TASK_SIZE
to another value, so the 8xx shall handle it.

This works if CONFIG_TASK_SIZE == 0x80000000, but what if it's less, and
you have a kernel address < 0x80000000?

You are right, I didn't realise that PAGE_OFFSET was also configurable 
and could be different from 0xC0000000.
andis. (which is what is always used in the current kernel) can be used 
if CONFIG_TASK_SIZE <= 0x80000000 AND PAGE_OFFSET >= 0x80000000.
I will resubmit the patch accordingly.
