Hi Martin,

We've seen these "non-zero pgtable byte" complaints as well and I found
this thread + test patch. Looks good after applying and running the LTP
cve-2017-17052 test over here.

Did this need further testing and/or review? I didn't see it in the
kernel/git/s390/linux.git tree so I thought I would ask.

Thanks,
