This could probably be radix_enabled() && !kvmhv_on_pseries(). Although
unclear why not nested hypervisor... I'd have to think about it a bit
more. Do you have any idea what might go wrong, or just didn't have the
time to consider it? (Not just powerpc nested but any others).

Comment could stand to expand slightly on what you are solving, in
words.

If you use synchronize_rcu() on both sides, you wouldn't need the
barrier, right?

Not really appropriate at the KVM level. mm enforces this kind of
thing (with notifiers).

*Probably* will work. I can't think of a reason why not at the
moment anyway :)

I'm guilty of such comments at times, but it wouldn't hurt to say
	/* Finish concurrent kvm_test_clear_young_hv access to page tables */

Then you know where to look for more info and you have a vague
idea what it's for.

Thanks for looking at the powerpc conversion!

Thanks,
