OK, something strange is going on. I am starting to suspect that there
is some other problem here.

If my patch is any good you should be able to use dcbx insn in copy_tofrom_user().
You could try changing all CONFIG_8xx to CONFIG_8xx_deleted arch/powerpc/lib/copy_32.S
and see if that works and if you see any debug prints.
