Please drop the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 here. We already accommodate skip
bits for a s390 platform requirement and can also do so for ppc64 as well. As
mentioned before, please avoid adding any platform specific constructs in the
test.
that is needed so that it can be built on 32 bit architectures.I did face build errors with arch-linux
Could not (#if __BITS_PER_LONG == 32) be used instead or something like
that. But should be a generic conditional check identifying 32 bit arch
not anything platform specific.
that _PAGE_PTE bit is pretty much specific to PPC BOOK3S_64. Not sure
why other architectures need to bothered about ignoring bit 62.
