[PATCH] Fix for TLB errata on early Xilinx Virtex-II Pro silicon

[PATCH] Early versions of the Xilinx Virtex-II Pro have a TLB errata where
only even numbered TLB entries work correctly.  Occurs on chips where
PVR == 0x20010820 || 0x20010860

See Record #14052, solution #12 in the Xilinx answers database
http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_ans_display.jsp?getPagePath=14052

This patch adds a config option to use only even TLB entries on the V2Pro
It also makes a trivial change to the Kconfig so that Xilinx options depend
on VIRTEX_II_PRO instead of XILINX_ML300.  Also fixes incorrect comment
