Oops, I missed it allthough I knew it. Patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/book3e: redefine pte_mkprivileged() and 
pte_mkuser()
To: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>, Paul Mackerras 
<paulus at samba.org>, Michael Ellerman <mpe at ellerman.id.au>
Cc: linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev at lists.ozlabs.org

Book3e defines both _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, so the nohash
default pte_mkprivileged() and pte_mkuser() are not usable.

This patch redefines them for book3e.

Fixes: a0da4bc166f2 ("powerpc/mm: Allow platforms to redefine some helpers")

Yes I saw it, that's ok for me.
