The reason I did that was to distinguish between the size of a

case of 36b physical, the hardware PTE size is the same as it always
is; but we've grown the Linux PTE. We can call it something else, or
I can change as you suggest; I was worried that the next person to
come along might get confused. I suppose there aren't too many of us
that are crazy enough to muck around in this code, so maybe it's not
that big of a deal.
We already called "PTE" the linux entry everywhere so hopefully there
should be no confusion. We call "HPTE" the hash table ones.
Actually, PTE_SIZE is already defined in hash_low_32.S, and it's the
size of the HPTE. I'll rename that to HPTE_SIZE and use PTE_SIZE for
the linux PTE.
