Possbile bug in hashtable.S : add_hash_page

I started with the vanilla 2.6.6 kernel, then I compared hashtable.S to the
one found here: http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc-2.5 and saw that it had
the same stack/interrupt handling within the add_hash_page function. The
processor is an mpc7457.

I guess I was hoping the ppc assembly guru's would check thier current ppc
hashtable.S to see if the code was the same, and if so, take a stab at
whether it looks reasonable given my problem explanation.

What kernel?  Where did you get it?  What processor?

can only be explained if we know more details.
