Can you also explain calling semantics. ie, why would we want to call
this with anything other than current ? Should we flush slb now or
should it be skipped ? so what would happen if the new hash page can
result in segment demotion ?  You don't put that under if (mm ==
current->mm). is that ok ?

	if ((pte_val(*ptep) & _PAGE_4K_PFN) && psize == MMU_PAGE_64K) {
		demote_segment_4k(mm, ea);
		psize = MMU_PAGE_4K;
	}

We also update paca context there

	if (get_paca_psize(addr) != MMU_PAGE_4K) {
		get_paca()->context = mm->context;
		slb_flush_and_rebolt();
	}


You also added code to handle KERNEL_REGION_ID in
[PATCH 02/15] powerpc/cell: Move data segment faulting code out of cell
platform. do we need to handle that here ?
