--- Comment #16 from Christophe Leroy (christophe.leroy at c-s.fr) ---
Interesting.

I see in that commit that in fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c, copy_page() is done
using entry->bitmap.

entry->bitmap is allocated with kmalloc() so there is a possibility that
entry->bitmap is not page aligned.

copy_page() in arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S assumes that source and
destination are aligned on cache lines at least.
