[PATCH v2 11/25] powerpc/8xx: map 16M RAM at startup

On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance
CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough
the kernel code fits in the first 8M.
Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M
at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that.

This patch adds a second 8M page to the initial mapping in order to
have 16M mapped regardless of CONFIG_PIN_TLB, like several other
32 bits PPC (40x, 601, ...)
