Joakim Tjernlund fe11dc3f96 powerpc/8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects.
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 PowerPC MPC8xx uses a TLB with hardware assisted, software tablewalk.
* We also use the two level tables, but we can put the real bits in them
* needed for the TLB and tablewalk. These definitions require Mx_CTR.PPM = 0,
* Mx_CTR.PPCS = 0, and MD_CTR.TWAM = 1. The level 2 descriptor has
* additional page protection (when Mx_CTR.PPCS = 1) that allows TLB hit
* based upon user/super access. The TLB does not have accessed nor write
* protect. We assume that if the TLB get loaded with an entry it is
* accessed, and overload the changed bit for write protect. We use
* two bits in the software pte that are supposed to be set to zero in
* the TLB entry (24 and 25) for these indicators. Although the level 1
* descriptor contains the guarded and writethrough/copyback bits, we can
* set these at the page level since they get copied from the Mx_TWC
* register when the TLB entry is loaded. We will use bit 27 for guard, since
* that is where it exists in the MD_TWC, and bit 26 for writethrough.
* These will get masked from the level 2 descriptor at TLB load time, and
* copied to the MD_TWC before it gets loaded.
* Large page sizes added. We currently support two sizes, 4K and 8M.
* This also allows a TLB hander optimization because we can directly
* load the PMD into MD_TWC. The 8M pages are only used for kernel
* mapping of well known areas. The PMD (PGD) entries contain control
* flags in addition to the address, so care must be taken that the
* software no longer assumes these are only pointers.
