[PATCH] powermac: U4 DART improvements

Hi,

Jimi Xenidis posted Xen drivers that do individual TLB shootdowns on U4
DART on Friday:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ppc-devel/2006-04/msg00085.html

We haven't been able to do it before since we didn't know any register
layouts past what Darwin used. So now we can implement individual
teardown.

This boots happily on my quad at home, but I'd appreciate more testing
by people who have U4-based machines. Also, if someone feels like doing
some benchmarking to find the breakeven point between full invalidation
and individual shootdowns, that'd be cool.

Patch below.

---

Implement single-entry TLB invalidations in the U4 DART.

At some point it makes more sense to invalidate the whole TLB instead of
individual entries. I picked a breakpoint at 32 entries, but it might make
sense to move it if benchmarking shows it to be too high or low.
