[PATCH 00/12] SLB miss conversion to C, and SLB optimisations

This is a repost of the SLB conversion to C, no real change since last
post. But given that slows down the SLB miss handler, I promised some
optimisations could be made to mitigate that.

The two main optimisations after the C conversion are the SLB alloation
bitmaps, and the preload cache.

Thanks,
Nick
