[POWERPC] Implement SLB shadow buffer
This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP. Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed. The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function. The hypervisor can use this information to speed up partition context switches. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
