I'm going to assume you'll take these 3 patches through the powerpc tree
for convenience, a few small nits, but otherwise ACK on the lot.

A follow up patch is going to make sure we correctly invalidate page walk cache

Perhaps more clearly state that !SMP is broken for Radix/PWC. The above
sorta implies it is, but it's not spelled out in any detail.
