[PATCH v2 4/4] powerpc/mm: e300c2/c3/c4 TLB errata workaround

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.

Based on patch from David Jander <david at protonic.nl>
