Thanks for your comments. Some answers below.

 Agree. We'll fix this.

 I guess this works for us, because we used the large EPN mask here
which covered more bits in EPN field of TLB entries, than it was
required for 16/64/256K PAGE_SIZE cases:

TLB Word 0 / bits 0..21:   EPN (Effective Page Number) [from 4 to 22 bits]
TLB Word 0 / bit 22 :      V (Valid bit) [1 bit]
TLB Word 0 / bits 24..27 : SIZE (Page Size) [4 bits]

 Thus, doing 'rlwimi' we masked our V/SIZE bits and cleared EPN for
all 4/16/64/256K PAGE_SIZE cases.

 Regards, Yuri
