[PATCH v4 08/23] powerpc/8xx: Map IMMR area with 512k page at a fixed address

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)

Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.

When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.

Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would
still be several small mappings towards linear area.

With the patch, on the same principle as what was done for the RAM,
the IMMR gets mapped by a 512k page.

In 4k pages mode, we reserve a 4Mb area for mapping IMMR. The TLB
miss handler checks that we are within the first 512k and bail out
with page not marked valid if we are outside

In 16k pages mode, it is not realistic to reserve a 64Mb area, so
we do a standard mapping of the 512k area using 32 pages of 16k.
The CPM will be mapped via the first two pages, and the SEC engine
will be mapped via the 16th and 17th pages. As the pages are marked
guarded, there will be no speculative accesses.

With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

v2:
- using bt instead of blt/bgt
- reorganised in order to have only one taken branch for both 512k
and 8M instead of a first branch for both 8M and 512k then a second
branch for 512k

v3:
- using fixmap
- using the new x_block_mapped() functions

v4: no change
