[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH v2] powerpc: 64K page support for kexec

[Olof Johansson]

Hi,
                                                                                                                                             
Two comments below, besides that it looks good!

This will never consider the last page size. Either <= MMU_PAGE_COUNT-1
or < MMU_PAGE_COUNT. The latter would be more natural.

Milton didn't like BUG_ON() here, and I think I agree after hearing his
motivations. I know I was the one suggesting them, but they're better
to keep out at the moment.
