We have a bunch of SLB related code in the tree which is there to handle
dynamic VSIDs - but currently it's all disabled at compile time. The
comments say "Keep that around for when we re-implement dynamic VSIDs".
But that was over 10 years ago (commit 3c726f8dee6f ("[PATCH] ppc64:
support 64k pages")). The chance that it would still work unchanged is
minimal, and in the meantime it's confusing to folks browsing/grepping
the code. If we ever want to re-instate it, it's in the git history.
