[PATCH v3 0/2] powerpc32: handle inverted _PAGE_RW bit outside of TLB handlers

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Dec 22 2014 - 05:14:51 EST


Some powerpc like the 8xx don't have a RW bit in PTE bits but a RO (Read Only) bit.
This patch implements the handling of a _PAGE_RO flag to be used in place of _PAGE_RW

Patchset:
1) powerpc32: adds handling of _PAGE_RO
2) powerpc/8xx: use _PAGE_RO instead of _PAGE_RW

All changes have been successfully tested on MPC885

v2 is a complete rework compared to v1
