[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/xmon: support dumping software pagetables

It would be nice to be able to dump page tables in a
particular context

Example use cases

Dumping PTE contents to see the keys (useful for debugging)

c0000000ba48c880 c0000000bab438b0   2677   2675 T  2 protection_keys
0:mon> ds c0000000ba48c880 0x7ffff7f70000
translating tsk c0000000ba48c880, addr 7ffff7f70000
G: 0xb95b6400   U: 0xb6334000   M: 0xb6543000   PA: 0x012c0000, PTE: 0xd4800000012c0504

Dumping vmalloc space

0:mon> ds 0 d000000000000000
translating tsk           (null), addr d000000000000000
G: 0x3d450400   U: 0xbc184000   M: 0x3d460000   PA: 0x7e010000, PTE: 0xc08000007e01018e

I did not replicate the complex code of dump_pagetable and have no support
for bolted linear mapping, thats why I've called it software pagetable
dumping support. The format of the PTE can be expanded to add more useful
information about the flags in the PTE if required.
