The POWER5 < DD2.1 issue is that slbie needs to be issued more than once. It came in with this change:
ChangeSet@1.1608, 2004-04-29 07:12:31-07:00, da...@gibson.dropbear.id.au [PATCH] POWER5 erratum workaround Early POWER5 revisions (<DD2.1) have a problem requiring slbie instructions to be repeated under some circumstances. The patch below adds a workaround (patch made by Anton Blanchard). The extra slbie in switch_slb is done even for the case where slbia is called (slb_flush_and_rebolt). I don't believe that is required because there are other slb_flush_and_rebolt callers which do not issue the workaround slbie, which would be broken if it was required. It also seems to be fine inside the isync with the first slbie, as it is in the kernel stack switch code. So move this workaround to where it is required. This is not much of an optimisation because this is the fast path, but it makes the code more understandable and neater.
