Subject: [PATCH] Fix for PPC64 kernel virtual address translation in Linux
 4.17 and later kernels with commit c2b4d8b7417a59b7f9a52d0d8402f5257cbbd398,
 titled "powerpc/mm/hash64: Increase the VA range", in which the maximum
 virtual address value has been increased to 4PB.  Without the patch, the
 translation/access of high vmalloc space addresses fails; for example, the
 "kmem -[sS]" option fails the translation of per-cpu kmem_cache_cpu addresses
 located in vmalloc space, with the error messages "kmem: invalid kernel
 virtual address: <address> type: kmem_cache_cpu.freelist" and "kmem: invalid
 kernel virtual address: <address>  type: kmem_cache_cpu.page", and the "vtop"
 command shows the addresses as "(not mapped)". (hbathini@linux.ibm.com)

[note: apply on 4.12+ for SLE 15 SP1 - incompatible with SLE 15 SP0]
