There wasn't previously an ifdef specifically around the setting of
SPRN_MD_CTR.  That's new.  There was an ifdef around the entire block,
which has gone away because you are now trying to map more than 8M
regardless of CONFIG_PIN_TLB, but that has nothing to do with whether
there should be an ifdef around SPRN_MD_CTR.


Euh, ok, but then we have to fix it in the whole function, not only in
this block. Do you think it is worth doing it ?
Fix what in the whole function?  I was asking what harm there would be
if you just remove all the CONFIG_PIN_TLB ifdefs except around the
actual RSV4I setting -- do we really care what value goes in MD_CTR for
the non-pinned case, as long as it's different for each entry?


MD_CTR is decremented after each entry added.
However, the function populates entry 28, then 29, then 30, then 31. At the end MD_CTR has then value 30, ready to overide entry 30 then 29 then 28 then 27 .....

So I will remove all the CONFIG_PIN_TLB, but I'll also have to fix the value set in MD_CTR to start from 31, won't I ?

Do you have any comment/recommendation on my tentative v3 patch where I have tried to implement based on the use of r7 as you recommended ?
