[PATCH] powerpc: Name xpn & x fields in HW pte format

Previously, the 36-bit code was using these bits, but they had
never been named in the pte format definition. This patch just
gives those fields their proper names and adds a comment that
they are only present on some processors.
There is no functional code change.
