Benjamin Herrenschmidt 8d1cf34e7a powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination definitions
This patch tweaks the way some PTE bit combinations are defined, in such a
way that the 32 and 64-bit variant become almost identical and that will
make it easier to bring in a new common pte-* file for the new variant
of the Book3-E support.

The combination of bits defining access to kernel pages are now clearly
separated from the combination used by userspace and the core VM. The
resulting generated code should remain identical unless I made a mistake.

Note: While at it, I removed a non-sensical statement related to CONFIG_KGDB
in ppc_mmu_32.c which could cause kernel mappings to be user accessible when
that option is enabled. Probably something that bitrot.

/*
* The "classic" 32-bit implementation of the PowerPC MMU uses a hash
* table containing PTEs, together with a set of 16 segment registers,
* to define the virtual to physical address mapping.
*
* We use the hash table as an extended TLB, i.e. a cache of currently
* active mappings. We maintain a two-level page table tree, much
* like that used by the i386, for the sake of the Linux memory
* management code. Low-level assembler code in hash_low_32.S
* (procedure hash_page) is responsible for extracting ptes from the
* tree and putting them into the hash table when necessary, and
* updating the accessed and modified bits in the page table tree.
