[PATCH v5 22/22] powerpc/8xx: set GUARDED attribute in the PMD directly

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Sep 25 2018 - 12:51:29 EST


On the 8xx, the GUARDED attribute of the pages is managed in the
L1 entry, therefore to avoid having to copy it into L1 entry
at each TLB miss, we set it in the PMD.
