The patch titled
powerpc: invalid size for swapper_pg_dir with CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
powerpc-invalid-size-for-swapper_pg_dir-with-config_pte_64bit=y.patch
This patch was dropped because it is obsolete
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: powerpc: invalid size for swapper_pg_dir with CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y
From: Cedric Hombourger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The size of swapper_pg_dir depends on the size of the basic type of a PTE.
Added a #define for the size of pte_basic_t as a power of two which is now
used to define PTE_SHIFT unconditionally as well as swapper_pg_dir in the
assembly head file. Before this change, a kernel configured with
CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y would very likely crash on a MPC8548CDS as the global
variable swapper_pg_dir (=init_mm.pgd) was 4k instead of 8k.
