This mostly looks fine.  The cond_resched_rcu() in kvmppc_tce_validate
doesn't seem necessary (the list would rarely have more than a few
dozen entries) and could be a performance problem given that TCE
validation is a hot-path.

Are you OK with me modifying the patch to take out that
cond_resched_rcu(), or is there some reason why it's essential that it
be there?

Paul.
