Why only 32-bit?

Any reason why this can't go back to being "hpd_val(hpd) > 0"?  Why was nohash
changed to begin with?  I don't expect nohash (or at least fsl-book3e) will
ever have a pagetable that is not native-endian, and "> 0" is consistent with
what the TLB miss code is doing.

Also, the patch that broke this was tagged for stable (which again raises the
question of why an extraneous change was made) so this patch needs to be as
well.
