How so ? the linux page table structure allow you to format the PTE and

Pretty much the way, but not exactly :-)

Paul told me the 8xx has some restrictions about what goes at the "PMD"
level that is a problem for us (is it cache inhibited bit ?) and thus we
cannot completely do the PMD/PTE thingy,

There are some page control options that would be easier handled at
the pmd boundary.  Cache mode is one of them.
