Re: [PATCH RESEND] powerpc: fix usage of _PAGE_RO in hugepage

quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
On some CPUs like the 8xx, _PAGE_RW hence _PAGE_WRITE is defined
as 0 and _PAGE_RO has to be set when a page is not writable

_PAGE_RO is defined by default in pte-common.h, however BOOK3S/64
doesn't include that file so _PAGE_RO has to be defined explicitly
in book3s/64/pgtable.h

This patch was initially part of the v1 serie of patchs for providing
hugepage support to the 8xx. As suggested by Aneesh, that serie has
been splited to focus only on hugepage implementation for 8xx.
This patch is a fix and is independant of 8xx hugepage implementation,
allthough it is required to have hugepage support working properly on
the 8xx.

Can you add the commit message also as code comment ?. It is confusing
to find that we do mask = _PAGE_READ and then mask |= _PAGE_RO.

Otherwise
