Hi Cyril,

Thanks for posting fixes patch set again. I have in fact used your 
previous patch series on a real LPAE system with split memory banks in 
both 32-bit and 36-bit physical addresses. I compared your below patches 
with previous version, and don't see significant changes. Hence you can use

for this series as well. In the meantime, I have used the pa/va patching 
from v3, but haven't tested any performance numbers on it. But I will 
wait for your next reworked version.

Regards,
Subash
