IIRC I put in that logic to make it compatible with how QEMU handled HTAB lookups. Since then this has changed in QEMU though, and doing it this way is architecturally as correct as the other (the spec just says undefined behavior for duplicate entries), so I'm fine with the change.
However, does book3s_32 differ here? I would like to keep them at least behave identically for undefined behavior. So in this case, unless you know of a difference for 32bit, please also provide a patch that does this change in book3s_32_mmu.c.
