Sorry for such a late reply, but I'm now doing the kexec code and see
why it was put here (by the original author).  It is so you will have
debugging output until the very last possible moment during a kexec
shutdown.

The real problem is really that this routine (and the corresponding ppc_md
variable) are inappropriately named.  In the general case all that is left
to do is to call ppc_md.hpte_clear_all, but for ps3 we also want to do the
framebuffer shutdown here, so something like this should be better:

-static void ps3_hpte_clear(void)
+static void ps3_kexec_final(void)

-	ppc_md.hpte_clear_all = ps3_hpte_clear;
+	ppc_md.hpte_clear_all = ps3_kexec_final;
