[PATCH] Use a sensible tlbex default for unknown CPUs

[Thiemo Seufer <ths@networkno.de>]

Hello All,

currently the kernel panics when it boots on an unknown CPU model
(with an unknown PRID). Based on the assumption that the majority
of newly supported CPU will conform to Release 2 standard, I wrote
the appended patch which handles unknown CPUs as R2. It isn't
completely bulletproof, as (yet unsupported) non-R1/R2 CPUs may
use the AT config bits for different purposes. I still think this
is good enough a test.

This patch allows me to boot Linux on a "generic" MIPS64R2 Qemu
without making up a potentially conflicting PRID. All-zeroes
like for other undefined fields does fine.
