Seems OK. One small comment is that we may also remove
FORCE_CRASH completely since the assumption to add that
check doesn't exist now. Actually VHPT_CCHAIN_LOOKUP
already makes check upon VMM area to decide whether jumping
to alt_itlb_miss handler. In this case, simply removing
FORCE_CRASH line can also work. :-)
BTW, this reminds me another interesting point raised several
months ago when Isaku suspected why there's no logic to handle
identity mapped area within dtlb_miss handler. Finally Isaku copied
logic from alt_dtlb_miss handler into dtlb_miss handler as we see
today. Seems that's also covered by VHPT_CCHAIN_LOOKUP and
those duplicated logic added in dtlb_miss can be also removed now.
Thanks,
Kevin
