NX can set 3rd bit in CR register for XER[SO] (Summation overflow)
which is not related to paste request. The current paste function
returns failure for the successful request when this bit is set.
So mask this bit and check the proper return status.

Unfortunately this no longer applies to my next branch, because those
macros have been moved out of this header as part of an unrelated patch.

The following patch should work instead, can you please confirm by
testing it?

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/copy-paste.h b/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/copy-paste.h

 }


cheers
