In htab_convert_pte_flags(), _PAGE_CACHE_CTL is used to check for the
_PAGE_SAO flag:

   else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_SAO)
           rflags |= (HPTE_R_W | HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_M);

But, it isn't defined to include that flag:

   #define _PAGE_CACHE_CTL (_PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT | _PAGE_TOLERANT)

This happens to work, but only because of the flag values:

   #define _PAGE_SAO               0x00010 /* Strong access order */
   #define _PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT    0x00020 /* non idempotent memory */
   #define _PAGE_TOLERANT          0x00030 /* tolerant memory, cache inhibited */

To prevent any issues if these particulars ever change, add _PAGE_SAO to
the mask.
Not sure what the fix is about. We set the related hash pte flags via

	if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_TOLERANT)
		rflags |= HPTE_R_I;
	else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT)
		rflags |= (HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_G);
	else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_SAO)
		rflags |= (HPTE_R_W | HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_M);
	else
		/*
		 * Add memory coherence if cache inhibited is not set
		 */
		rflags |= HPTE_R_M;
