The purpose of this set of patches is to continue on TLB handling optimisation on the 8xx with the handling of IMMR area as a single 512k area instead of multiple 4k pages.
This set includes a rework of linear RAM mapping in order to not use page table but direct linear mapping. The result is equivalent to the use of BATs on other PPCs and it avoids reading the page table. This set also includes a rework of the handling of PIN_TLB config option. This option used to be linked to the quantity of RAM available. It is now independant, users having only 8M memory can also use PIN_TLB.
