The commit e0908085fc2391c85b85fb814ae1df377c8e0dcb is not needed anymore. The issue was because dcbst wrongly sets the store bit when causing a DTLB error, but this is now fixed by commit 0a2ab51ffb8dfdf51402dcfb446629648c96bc78 which handles the buggy dcbx instructions on data page faults on the 8xx.
