As discussed with Rafael privately, I also tried this very patch
(x86/power/64: Always create temporary identity mapping correctly) on top
of the reverted revert of 021182e52fe01c1f7b1 (see the full log below),
but such kernel triple faults on resume as well.

IOW, 021182e52f introduces a bug for which there is no existing fix yet.
