Clean up use of SDR1 fields.
IBM's "The Programming Environments for 32-Bit Microprocessors": The HTABMASK field in SDR1 contains a mask value that determines how many bits from the hash are used in the page table index. This mask must be of the form 0b00...011...1; that is, a string of 0 bits followed by a string of 1bits. The 1 bits determine how many additional bits (at least 10) from the hash are used in the index; HTABORG must have this same number of low-order bits equal to 0.
IBM's "The Programming Environments Manual for 64-bit Microprocessors" 3.0: The HTABSIZE field in SDR1 contains an integer value that determines how many bits from the hash are used in the page table index. This number must not exceed 28. HTABSIZE is used to generate a mask of the form 0b00...011...1; that is, a string of 0 bits followed by a string of 1-bits. The 1-bits determine how many additional bits (beyond the minimum of 11) from the hash are used in the index. The HTABORG must have this same number of low-order bits equal to 0.
Adjust alignment mask and hash size for ppc64.
Note that the page table does not yet scale with the memory size, and the secondary hash is not yet used.
v5:
- Move HTABORG mask to header.
- Keep is_ppc64() for now, suggested by Alex.
Merge CONFIG_PPC_64BITSUPPORT handling here so that it behaves as intended, not recognizing a ppc64 CPU in pure 32-bit mode.
- Stub out hash_page_32() for ppc64 to avoid having to care about it for ppc64.
hash_page_64() is less critical for pure ppc build since the code needs to be 32-bit compatible anyway.
v4:
- Don't redefine hash_page_{32,64} but add TODO comments for renaming.
- Keep and simplify hash_page().
v3:
- Fix shifts. Thanks to Segher and Alex.
- Fix HTABSIZE for 32-bit ppc64: ((2 << 15) - 1) >> 16 happened to be 0,
so that it worked as expected. Avoid underflow, spotted by Alex. Make this fix available for legacy 64-bit support as well.
- Drop get_hash_size(). It was only used in hash_page_32() and caused
unnecessary conversions between HTABMASK and size.
- Introduce {mfsdr1,mtsdr1} as suggested by Alex.
Note that this changes the volatility for hash_page_64().
- Conditionalize 64-bit support, drop 32-bit support for ppc64.
- Adjust hash size for ppc64.
v2:
- Use HTABSIZE for ppc64, fix HTABMASK usage for ppc.
Error spotted by Segher.

This one looks a lot cleaner. I don't see any obvious glitches either, so:

Phew... thanks! Applied as r967.
A rather unproductive weekend unfortunately, no progress in gdb yet...
Sorry for making you go through so many iterations :).
I'll be stricter in the future, you too have commit rights, to create the inline functions you like. :)
True, just push me back when I get too annoying :).
One thing came to mind still: Please make sure that you take into account that the page table size is different for ppc64-on-ppc32 than the define inclines. If anything needs to know the real htab size, you need to have that one call a function that find it out for real.
You mean the 15 that our MAX() turns into 18? Our code always reads HTABORG and HTABMASK/HTABSIZE from SDR1 so we should be just fine once it's correctly initialized. As noted, we should scale the page table with RAM size and use these defines as lower limit only.
I don't think it's necessary to scale with RAM size, as we shouldn't use more RAM with increasing RAM size. We're fortunately not a full blown OS :).
