I see it back today in powerpc/merge, thanks.

The issue is it is crashing with HIGHMEM, indeed exactly the same as you 
saw with "[PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Fix permanently mapped IMMR region.", 
since that was exactly the same code.

I sent a fix for it, and I also rebased "[PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Fix 
permanently mapped IMMR region." into v2 to exclude from it the already 
merged part.

It would be wise if you could merge both.

Thanks
Christophe
