Patch to increase the number of tlb entries a guest uses

[Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi Scott,
I just discussed with Hollis about shadow tlb management in the 
hypervisor and he mentioned that you already have a patch that lets the 
guest use more tlb entries than it would have on bare metal hardware and 
therefore allow to handle more tlb misses in the host because the shadow 
tlb already holds that information.

It would be nice if you could provide me and the kvmppc community that 
patch, because I wanted to modify our tlb handling a bit. If it would be 
easy enough I would like to test that with a different number of guest 
tlb entries too to see how big the impact of such a change would be to 
our shadow tlb management.
