The main purpose of this series is to optimise the handling of
TLB misses on the 603/e300.

Today the TLB miss handlers are implemented by more or less
copying the actions performed by the hash page handlers used
on processors having HASH pagetable.

This series brings some simplification.

It also improves TLB misses on all 6xx by storing the PGDIR phys address
in an SPRG instead of reading it from thread struct.

v2:
- Added a patch which frees SPRN_SPRG2 by saving RTAS entry stack pointer in
the thread struct, allowing to use it for storing the PGDIR for all 6xx.
- Now using SPRN_SPRG2 for storing the PGDIR instead of SPRN_SPRG5. This allows
the old 6xx having only 4 SPRGs to also get the benefit of this change.
- Removed the last patch of the series which was reordering the _PAGE_FLAGS bits
because it fails on hash 6xx. Will be re-added later once fixed.

Christophe Leroy (10):
  powerpc: simplify BDI switch
  powerpc/6xx: Don't use SPRN_SPRG2 for storing stack pointer while in
    RTAS
  powerpc/6xx: Store PGDIR physical address in a SPRG
  powerpc/603: use physical address directly in TLB miss handlers.
  powerpc/hash32: use physical address directly in hash handlers.
  powerpc/603: Don't handle kernel page TLB misses when not need
  powerpc/603: Don't handle _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_DIRTY on ITLB misses
  powerpc/603: let's handle PAGE_DIRTY directly
  powerpc/603: Don't worry about _PAGE_USER in TLB miss handlers
  powerpc/603: don't handle PAGE_ACCESSED in TLB miss handlers.
