Commit 8c8c10b90d88 ("powerpc/8xx: fix handling of early NULL pointer dereference") moved the loading of r6 earlier in the code. As some functions are called inbetween, r6 needs to be loaded again with the address of swapper_pg_dir in order to set PTE pointers for the Abatron BDI.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
