[RFC][PATCH v3] powerpc: e300c2/c3/c4 TLB errata workaround

Sat Mar 14 02:16:23 EST 2009


From: David Jander <david.jander at protonic.nl>

Complete workaround for DTLB errata in e300c2/c3/c4 processors.

Due to the bug, the hardware-implemented LRU algorythm always goes to way
1 of the TLB. This fix implements the proposed software workaround in
form of a LRW table for chosing the TLB-way.

Added cpu feature support.. need to check with Ben if we should use a MMU feature instead
