It turns out that PR KVM has no dependency on the format of HPTEs,
because it uses functions pointed to by mmu_hash_ops which do all
the formatting and interpretation of HPTEs. Thus we can allow PR
KVM to load on POWER9 bare-metal hosts as long as they are running
in HPT mode.

* PR KVM can work on POWER9 inside a guest partition
* running in HPT mode. It can't work if we are using
* radix translation (because radix provides no way for
- * a process to have unique translations in quadrant 3)
- * or in a bare-metal HPT-mode host (because POWER9
- * uses a modified HPTE format which the PR KVM code
- * has not been adapted to use).
+ * a process to have unique translations in quadrant 3).
