I'd rather this patch exclude 8xx along with PReP for now; the 8xx TLB
handlers could be made to accept arbitrary task sizes, but not without
slightly slowing them down (not that they're currently optimal -- IIUC,
using the hardware tablewalk assist is expensive due to serialization on
mtspr, and it doesn't really do anything that rlwimi can't do). I'm not
sure it's worth it -- does anyone really need more than 2GB userspace on
an 8xx?
At the very least, we should have the 8xx patch in place before turning
it on.
