Not sure what the fix is about. We set the related hash pte flags via
if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_TOLERANT)
rflags |= HPTE_R_I;
else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_NON_IDEMPOTENT)
rflags |= (HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_G);
else if ((pteflags & _PAGE_CACHE_CTL) == _PAGE_SAO)
rflags |= (HPTE_R_W | HPTE_R_I | HPTE_R_M);
else
/*
* Add memory coherence if cache inhibited is not set
*/
rflags |= HPTE_R_M;
