I'll need to make it a bit different because it shoehorns into your
config but won't fit if CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_32 is added.

Yes, I don't have a G4 myself but this is so much nested with other
stuff for the powerpc 83xx than we can't avoid the changes impacting the
G4 and other hash-MMU based PPC32 allthough the changes I'm doing are
not targetted at those platform at first. And as the 83xx is a 603 core,
it is non-hash so all hash related things can't be verified. Plus all
those small parts like power saving, RTAS, etc... which are more specific.
And checking with all possible options is also not easy.
VMAP-STACK was really a challenging functionnality, I'm happy it made
its way to mainline though.
