Hi Kumar,

> do we need this in arch/powerpc as well?

No. At least not until these patches are applied to powerpc, as well:

8f069b1a90bd97bf6d59a02ecabf0173d9175609 [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Use 8MB D-TLB's for kernel static mapping faults
3ea4807de7b2c5c903380ba2c2e7150bee942f42 [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: last two 8MB D-TLB entries are incorrectly set
c51e078f82096a7d35ac8ec2416272e843a0e1c4 [PATCH] ppc32/8xx: Fix r3 trashing due to 8MB TLB page instantiation

Thanks,
Jochen
