[PATCH] powerpc 8xx: Reverting commit e0908085fc2391c85b85fb814ae1df377c8e0dcb which has become useless

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Sep 11 2013 - 12:44:51 EST


The commit e0908085fc2391c85b85fb814ae1df377c8e0dcb is not needed anymore.
The issue was because dcbst wrongly sets the store bit when causing a DTLB
error, but this is now fixed by commit 0a2ab51ffb8dfdf51402dcfb446629648c96bc78
which handles the buggy dcbx instructions on data page faults on the 8xx.
