Hi Olof, thanks for the review.

Ok. Will call this function from lpar.c instead of
default_machine_kexec().

Well it finds a vrma entry and saves it. I thought of
pSeries_find_save_hpte_vrma(), but decided against it. I could
change it to pSeries_save_hpte_vrma().

It is a shift. I will change it to ppc64_vrma_page_shift.

Hrmm. Ok will use the vrma_page_shift value.

Done.

Will add proper checks for num_hpte_vrma_slots variable value.

Will move them to pseries lpar code.
Updated patch on its way.
