Thanks for doing that.

If you felt like merging Alexey's patch "KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Fix WIMG
handling under pHyp" with my acked-by, that would be fine too.  The
commit message needs a little work - the reason for using HPTE_R_M is
not just because it seems to work, but because current POWER
processors require M set on mappings for normal pages, and pHyp
enforces that.

Cheers,
Paul.
