    powerpc/8xx: document and enforce that split PT locks are not used · 073ebebd
    David Hildenbrand authored
    Right now, we cannot have split PT locks because 8xx does not support SMP.
    
    But for the sake of documentation *why* 8xx is fine regarding what we
    documented in huge_pte_lockptr(), let's just add code to enforce it at the
    same time as documenting it.
    
    This should also make everybody who wants to copy from the 8xx approach of
    supporting such unusual ways of mapping hugetlb folios aware that it gets
    tricky once multiple page tables are involved.
