ok. this time i will fix them. It misses by radar screen because
checkpatch.pl does not complain.

we could be in hypervisor state too, as is the case when we run
a powernv kernel.

But..does it matter in which order they are written? if
the thread is in the kernel, it cannot execute any instructions
in userspace. So it wont see a intermediate state. right?
or am i getting this wrong?

sorry I did not understand the comment. UAMOR cannot
be accessed from usespace. and there are no system calls
currently to help userspace to program the UAMOR on its
behalf.

ok. makes sense. best to not touch reserved key bits here.
