No, and that's the reason why I said it could be done in another 
(future) patch.

Anyway, your patch should be clean regarding checkpatch

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1052984/
And 
https://openpower.xyz/job/snowpatch/job/snowpatch-linux-checkpatch/3298//artifact/linux/checkpatch.log

CHECK:AVOID_EXTERNS: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
#31: FILE: arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:20:
+extern int resize_hpt_for_hotplug(unsigned long new_mem_size);

CHECK:LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS: Logical continuations should be on the 
previous line
#70: FILE: arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c:776:
  	if ((target_hpt_shift > ppc64_pft_size)
+	    || (target_hpt_shift < (ppc64_pft_size - 1)))

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 2 checks, 60 lines checked

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
       mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or 
--fix-inplace.

the.patch has style problems, please review.

NOTE: Ignored message types: ARCH_INCLUDE_LINUX BIT_MACRO 
COMPARISON_TO_NULL DT_SPLIT_BINDING_PATCH EMAIL_SUBJECT 
FILE_PATH_CHANGES GLOBAL_INITIALISERS LINE_SPACING MULTIPLE_ASSIGNMENTS

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
       them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
