833f69be62ac.  It most definitely should be reverted.  The "dependency" for commit
87ecfdbc699c ("KVM: e500: always restore irqs") is a superficial code conflict.

Oof.  The same buggy patch was queue/proposed for all stable trees from 5.4 onward,
but it look like it only landed in 6.1, 6.6, and 6.12.  I'll send reverts.

    KVM: PPC: e500: Use __kvm_faultin_pfn() to handle page faults
    
    [ Upstream commit 419cfb983ca93e75e905794521afefcfa07988bb ]
    
    Convert PPC e500 to use __kvm_faultin_pfn()+kvm_release_faultin_page(),
    and continue the inexorable march towards the demise of
    kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page().
