Incremental fix required for this. A !SMP typo bug, and pmac
init code that was not switched from paca array to paca_ptrs
array.
In the first case I just got rid of the r13 thing completely.
I think the idea of the code was to give secondaries a different
r13 so they wouldn't overwrite CPU0's paca if they accidentally
used it.
