I will update the patch. But this patch (Patch 4) need to go through
powerpc tree because radix__flush_tlb_range_psize is not yet upstream.
As I mentioned in the previous thread, if you can take patch 1 to patch 3 that
will enable wider testing w.r.t other archs and ppc64 related changes can
go later via powerpc tree ?

I missed that. I can resend the series again adding ppc-devel to cc: ?
