Why is N the safe default (other than concerns about code maturity,
though arm64 and mips don't seem to have updated this recommendation
after several years)?  On x86 this defaults to Y.

Please use tabs rather than spaces between the mnemonic and the
arguments.

It looks like that was the last user of MAS2_VAL so let's remove it.

Shouldn't this go under arch/powerpc/mm/nohash?

Why KERNELBASE and not kernstart_addr?

If kernstart_addr wasn't 64M-aligned before adding offset, then "offset
>= SZ_64M" is not necessarily going to detect when you've crossed a
mapping boundary.

After copying, call flush_icache_range() on the destination.

Are you assuming that available memory starts at physical address zero? 
This isn't true of some partitioning scenarios, or in a kdump crash
kernel.
