I don't think it does? :)

I think you're referring to the batch handling in 
arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/tlbflush-hash.h ?

But that's only used for 64-bit Book3S with the HPT MMU.

This doesn't build:

  https://github.com/linuxppc/linux-snowpatch/actions/runs/10919442655

Can you please follow the instructions here:

  https://github.com/linuxppc/wiki/wiki/Testing-with-GitHub-Actions

Which describe how to fork our CI tree that has Github Actions
preconfigured, then you can apply your patches on top and push to github
and it will do some test builds for you. Notably it will do 32-bit
builds which is what broke here.

cheers
