Adding paulmck.
I'm not entirely sure what is the fix here. Paul G also reported it
failing for arm. I was able to reproduce with powerpc, and the following
fixes the issue, but I doubt it is the correct way to address this. The
idea was based on how we do it for x86.
Also, having SRCU in mm is, lets say, more than convenient, beyond
MMU_NOTIFIERS which explicitly selects SRCU.
Paul?
