[PATCH -V2 2/5] powerpc: Free up _PAGE_COHERENCE for numa fault use later

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Set  memory coherence always on hash64 config. If
a platform cannot have memory coherence always set they
can infer that from _PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_WRITETHRU
like in lpar. So we dont' really need a separate bit
for tracking _PAGE_COHERENCE.
