Hi Steve,

Did you ever fix this? I don't see anything in patchwork from you since
a long time before this email.

I believe the same issue occurs if you take any system with a 32 bit
kernel (eg. malta or boston) & select ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT.

One issue is that iPTE_SW tries to ori a mode with bits beyond bit 15
set if you are running that 32 bit kernel on a 64 bit CPU, leading to
uasm overflow errors & garbage TLB handlers. Just having it or in all of
mode isn't sufficient to get things working though.

Thanks,
    Paul
