I'm going to pick this up as it's a revert and a bug fix, so we can 
backport it.  If the right answer is to just forget about the sv39 
userspace and only worry about sv48 userspace then your patches are 
likely the way to go, but there's a handful of discussions around that 
which might take a bit.
