Applied to powerpc next, thanks.

https://git.kernel.org/powerpc/c/5c3c7ede2bdcb85fa2fd51c814

I reworded one comment a little, from:

	/* 2^11 PTEGS / 2^18 bytes is the minimum htab size permitted
	 * by the architecture */

to:
	/*
	 * 2^11 PTEGS of 128 bytes each, ie. 2^18 bytes is the minimum htab
	 * size permitted by the architecture.
	 */

To avoid any confusion about the "/" referring to division.

cheers
