[RFC v3 PATCH 5/5] tcg/softmmu: Increase size of TLB caches

[Pranith Kumar <bobby.prani@gmail.com>]

This patch increases the number of entries cached in the TLB. I went
over a few architectures to see if increasing it is problematic. Only
armv6 seems to have a limitation that only 8 bits can be used for
indexing these entries. For other architectures, the number of TLB
entries is increased to a 4K-sized cache. The patch also doubles the
number of victim TLB entries.

Some statistics collected from a build benchmark for various cache
sizes is listed below:

| TLB bits\vTLB entires |             8 |            16  |            32 |
|                     8 | 952.94(+0.0%) | 929.99(+2.4%)  | 919.02(+3.6%) |
|                    10 | 898.92(+5.6%) | 886.13(+7.0%)  | 887.03(+6.9%) |
|                    12 | 878.56(+7.8%) | 873.53(+8.3%)* | 875.34(+8.1%) |

The best combination for this workload came out to be 12 bits for the
TLB and a 16 entry vTLB cache.
