Add a config option for the (batched) MULTITCE and BULK_REMOVE h-calls.
By default, these options are on and are beneficial for performance and
throughput reasons. If disabled, the code will fall back to using less
optimal TCE and REMOVE hcalls. The ability to easily disable these
options is useful for some of the PREEMPT_RT related investigation and
work occurring on Power.
