That's kinda ugly.  What about

void radix__tlb_flush(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
{
	int psize = 0;
	struct mm_struct *mm = tlb->mm;
	int page_size = tlb->page_size;

	psize = radix_get_mmu_psize(page_size);

	if (psize != -1 && !tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
		radix__flush_tlb_range_psize(mm, tlb->start, tlb->end, psize);
	else
		radix__flush_tlb_mm(mm);
}

?

We lost the comment, but that can be neatly addressed by documenting
radix_get_mmu_psize() (of course!).  Please send along a comment to do
this and I'll add it in.

I'll await feedback from the other PPC developers before doing anything
further on this patchset.

hm, no ppc mailing lists were cc'ed.  Regrettable.
