Rework BookE pmap towards multi-core support.
o Eliminate tlb0[] (a s/w copy of TLB0) - The table contents cannot be maintained reliably in multiple MMU environments, where asynchronous events (invalidations from other cores) can change our local TLB0 contents underneath. - Simplify and optimize TLB flushing: system wide invalidations are performed using tlbivax instruction (propagates to other cores), for local MMU invalidations a new optimized routine (assembly) is introduced.
o Improve and simplify TID allocation and management. - Let each core keep track of its TID allocations. - Simplify TID recycling, eliminate dead code. - Drop the now unused powerpc/booke/support.S file.
o Improve page tables management logic.
o Simplify TLB1 manipulation routines.
o Other improvements and polishing.
