On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is
bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses. If on top of
that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and
can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on
TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high
rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler.
While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and
EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

This appears to be due to checking the wrong permission bits in the
instruction_tlb_miss handling if the address that faulted was in vmalloc
space. We need to look at the supervisor execute (_PAGE_BAP_SX) bit and
not the user bit (_PAGE_BAP_UX/_PAGE_EXEC).
Also removed a branch level since it did not appear to be used.

Support for TLB reservation (or TLB Write Conditional) and Paired MAS
registers are optional for a processor implementation so we handle
them via MMU feature sections.
We currently only used paired MAS registers to access the full RPN + perm
bits that are kept in MAS7||MAS3. We assume that if an implementation has
hardware page table at this time it also implements in TLB reservations.

This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.
The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.
I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

This adds the TLB miss handler assembly, the low level TLB flush routines
along with the necessary hook for dealing with our virtual page tables
or indirect TLB entries that need to be flushes when PTE pages are freed.
There is currently no support for hugetlbfs
