Actually Aneesh fixed that in:
0034d395f89d ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range")
The problem we had prior to that was that the linear mapping was at
(0xc << 60), vmalloc was at (0xd << 60), and vmemap was at (0xf << 60).
Meaning our shadow region would need to be more than (3 << 60) in size.
cheers
