Looks like I concluded too quickly yesterday night, indeed the above 
commit is the last good one. The faulty one is 
d300627c6a53693fb01479b59b0cdd293761b1fa("powerpc/6xx: Handle DABR match 
before calling do_page_fault")

This is because the 'bl do_page_fault' has been enclosed inside the 
#ifdef CONFIG_6xx
