> Invalidation paths that call kvmppc_e500_tlbil_all(), such as MMUCSR0 and tlbivax, need a call to clear_tlb_refs() in order to get the valid bits cleared.

Yeah, instead of kvmppc_e500_tlbil_all(). This might need a bit of rework, since we end up flushing the full host TLB / cache even when only evicting a single page at times.

So one more question I have here is why kvmppc_core_flush_tlb() calls clear_tlb1_bitmap(). That function looks like a better candidate for "flush all of the pending host translation" than clear_tlb_refs() which to me sounds more like an implementation detail of the host TLB implementation.

After clear_tlb_refs() there shouldn't be any pending bitmaps lying around, right?

> In looking this up, I also saw that tlbilxlpid (T=0) seems to be broken; it compares PID/TID as if it were T=1.  Don't be fooled by the "lpid" in the name; it's still relevant (and different from T=1) in the absence of E.HV, and should be treated as "tlbilx all".  Once implemented, that will also presumably use kvmppc_e500_tlbil_all().

Yay :). That's a follow-up patch though. Let me put it on the todo list.
