Fast implementations have been removed by commit
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commit/fb041bb7c0a918b95c6889fc965cdc4a75b4c0ca
It's now considered that the generic implementation is good enough for
everybody.
However, this series doesn't apply anymore and needs rebase:
Applying: powerpc/mm: Use refcount_t for refcount
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...

M arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/pgtable.c

Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
Thanks
