There are still a few oddities in the error paths.

IIR previous discussions properly, an xchg() failure should be a
WARN_ON().

Here a vmalloc translation failure is treated as an H_TOO_HARD..

Another xchg failure where I'd expect a WARN.

.. but here a more or less identical vmalloc translation failure is
treated as a WARN.  Is it TOO_HARD, or WARN?

And another xchg failure that I'd expect to be a warn
