Patch for '5.3.7 64-bits kernel doesn't boot on G5 Quad' found (was: Re: PPC64: G5 & 4k/64k page size)

Hello all, Great news: Aneesh sent me a patch that solves the problem on my G5 Quad :-) I don't know whether he considers it a 'workaround' or if it's the 'proper' patch for upstream, so beware. It's a one-liner so I attach it to this message: those affected can test it as well to confirm if
