[PATCH] fixes for the SLB shadow buffer

We sometimes change the vmalloc segment in slb_flush_and_rebolt but we
never updated with slb shadow buffer.  This fixes it.  Thanks to paulus
for finding this.

Also added some write barriers to ensure the shadow buffer is always
valid.

Sure... this closer to what you want?
