I submitted the same patch a while ago, see  
<http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-May/072582.html>  
and  
<http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-June/073065.html>,  
maybe you can add a tested/revied for it?

If it is a problem with *byte* accesses, you might want to have a look  
at  
<http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-June/072903.html>.
