The initial page fault at 0x100 on machine startup causes H_ENTER to fail in
pHyp with H_PARAMETER, as described in PAPR:
The hypervisor checks that the WIMG bits within the PTE are appropriate for the
physical page number else H_Parameter return. (For System Memory pages WIMG=0010,
or, 1110 if the SAO option is enabled, and for IO pages WIMG=01**.)
I'm not aware we care for SAO so HPTE_R_M looks like the only sensible choice,
or I'm missing something ?
Anyway, this patch allows to start a PR guest on PowerVM again.
