Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit. We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.
This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it. The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.
It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.
This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.
I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss. I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a
lot easier.

Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all
implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.
This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.
I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h
The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a

Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency.
At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and
has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do
the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

This reworks the context management code used by 4xx,8xx and
freescale BookE. It adds support for SMP by implementing a
concept of stale context map to lazily flush the TLB on
processors where a context may have been invalidated. This
also contains the ground work for generalizing such lazy TLB
flushing by just picking up a new PID and marking the old one
stale. This will be implemented later.
This is a first implementation that uses a global spinlock.
Ideally, we should try to get at least the fast path (context ID
already assigned) lockless or limited to a per context lock,
but for now this will do.
I tried to keep the UP case reasonably simple to avoid adding
too much overhead to 8xx which does a lot of context stealing
since it effectively has only 16 PIDs available.

The initial TLB mapping for the kernel boot didn't set the memory coherent
attribute, MAS2[M], in SMP mode.
If this code supported booting a secondary processor, which it doesn't yet,
but if it did, then when a secondary processor boots, it would probably signal
the primary processor by setting a variable called something like
__secondary_hold_acknowledge. However, due to the lack of the M bit, the
primary processor would not snoop the transaction (even if a transaction were
broadcast). If primary CPU's L1 D-cache had a copy, it would not be flushed
and the CPU would never see the ack. Which would have resulted in the primary
CPU spinning for a long time, perhaps a full second before it gives up, while
it would have waited for the ack from the secondary CPU that it wouldn't have
been able to see because of the stale cache.
The value of MAS2 for the boot page TLB1 entry is a compile time constant,
so there is no need to calculate it in powerpc assembly language.
Also, from the MPC8572 manual section 6.12.5.3, "Bits that represent
offsets within a page are ignored and should be cleared." Existing code
didn't clear them, this code does.
The same when the page of KERNELBASE is found; we don't need to use asm to
mask the lower 12 bits off.
In the code that computes the address to rfi from, don't hard code the
offset to 24 bytes, but have the assembler figure that out for us.

Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a
result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled
without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a
microseconds value and multiplying by 1000.
This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for
clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the
resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase
frequency.
Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time
corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of
2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a
result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of
xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with
the other time-related fields.
