I think the commit message could be clearer, something like:
According to PowerISA 3.1B, Book III 6.7.6 programming note, the page
directory base addresses are expected to be aligned to their size. Real
hardware seems to rely on that and will access the wrong address if they
are misaligned. This results in a translation failure even if the page
tables seem to be properly populated.
Let's make sure we capture this assumption in the code to help anyone
implementing page tables.
