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;
