[PATCH 2/8] 8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects.

Joakim Tjernlund Joakim.Tjernlund at transmode.se
Mon Oct 12 03:35:06 EST 2009 

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
 - I/D TLB Miss never needs to write to the linux pte.
 - _PAGE_ACCESSED is only set on TLB Error fixing accounting
 - _PAGE_DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
    when a page has been made dirty.
 - Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
 - Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)
 - Less instructions in I/D TLB Miss.
 - kernel RO/user NA support.
Cons:
 - A few more instructions in the TLB Miss routines.
