This is "booke".  Do you mean like "like we did for 32-bit"?

And the code is already trying to load the special stack; it just
happens that it's loading from a different location than the C code
placed the stack addresses.  The changelog should point out the specific
thing that is being fixed.

It looks like you're loading the stack from *irq_ctx, storing it in
PACA_*_stack, and then (immediately after this in the caller) loading it
back from PACA_*_STACK.  Why not just load it from *irq_ctx and get rid
of PACA_*_STACK altogether -- or change the C code to initialize the
addresses in the PACA instead, and get ird of *irq_ctx on 64-bit?

The caller will already check MSR_PR and override this if coming from
userspace; why do you need to check again here?
