So turns out this patch *also* breaks my p5020ds :)

Even with patch 4 merged, see next.

It's the same crash:

Comparing a working vs broken kernel, it seems to boil down to the fact
that we're filtering out more PTE bits now that we use pte_pgprot() in
ioremap_prot().

With the old code we get:
  ioremap_prot: addr 0xff800000 flags 0x241215
  ioremap_prot: addr 0xff800000 flags 0x241215
  map_kernel_page: ea 0x8000080080080000 pa 0xff800000 pte 0xff800241215


And now we get:
  ioremap_prot: addr 0xff800000 flags 0x241215 pte 0x241215
  ioremap_prot: addr 0xff800000 pte 0x241215
  ioremap_prot: addr 0xff800000 prot 0x241014
  map_kernel_page: ea 0x8000080080080000 pa 0xff800000 pte 0xff800241014

So we're losing 0x201, which for nohash book3e is:

  #define _PAGE_PRESENT	0x000001 /* software: pte contains a translation */
  #define _PAGE_PSIZE_4K	0x000200


I haven't worked out if it's one or both of those that matter.

The question is what's the right way to fix it? Should pte_pgprot() not
be filtering those bits out on book3e?

cheers
