Correct, as documented in arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash-4k.h

We can't but I didn't want to leave nb undefined or with a value that
might lead to writing in the weed. Value 1 seems a safe default.

In that case the pte_xchg() in the while () will only set ACCESS or
DIRTY bit on the first PxD entry, not on all cont-PxD entries.
