Ok, we have it working here on a similar machine with 2.6.11 and failing
in a similar way with bk which is why I asked ;)
The bk problem is found & fixed here tho. I'll send a patch later, it's
a bug with ppc64 iounmap() not properly flushing the hash table after
the set_pte_at() patch due to some crap in our custom implementation of
that guy.
Here's the patch, but I want to get rid of that stuff anyway (at least
make unmap_vm_area take the "mm", or rather make an unmap_vm_area_mm()
and make unmap_vm_area() just call it and then use that instead of our
own implementation, but I'm waiting for Hugh cleanup to get in before
touching any of this).

This patch fixes a bug in ppc64 local implementation of iounmap() that
would cause it to incorrectly flush the hash table since the changes to
set_pte have been applied.
