Various kernel asm modifies SRR0/SRR1 just before executing
a rfi. If such code crosses a page boundary you risk a TLB miss
which will clobber SRR0/SRR1. Avoid this by always pinning
kernel instruction TLB space.

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
- I/D TLB Miss never needs to write to the linux pte.
- _PAGE_ACCESSED is only set on TLB Error fixing accounting
- _PAGE_DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
when a page has been made dirty.
- Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
- Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)
- kernel RO/user NA support.
Cons:
- A few more instructions in the TLB Miss routines.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

This makes swap routines operate correctly on the ppc_8xx based machines.
Code has been revalidated on mpc885ads (8M sdram) with recent kernel. Based
on patch from Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> to do the same on arch/ppc
instance.
Recent kernel's size makes swap feature very important on low-memory platforms,
those are actually non-operable without it.

The CPU15 erratum on MPC8xx chips can cause incorrect code execution
under certain circumstances, where there is a conditional or indirect
branch in the last word of a page, with a target in the last cache line
of the next page. This patch implements one of the suggested
workarounds, by forcing a TLB miss whenever execution crosses a page
boundary. This is done by invalidating the pages before and after the
one being loaded into the TLB in the ITLB miss handler.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
