[PATCH v2] Make instruction dumping work in real mode.

On non-book-E-or-4xx, exceptions execute in real mode.  If a fault happens
that leads to a register dump, the kernel currently prints XXXXXXXX because
it doesn't realize that PC is a physical address.

This patch checks the state of the IMMU, and if necessary converts PC into a
virtual address.

This version uses MSR_IR rather than address heuristics, and fixes breakage
that somehow crept into the address adjustment in the previous patch.
