This patch moves SLB miss handlers completely to C, using the standard
exception handler macros to set up the stack and branch to C.
This can be done because the segment containing the kernel stack is
always bolted, so accessing it with relocation on will not cause an
SLB exception.
Arbitrary kernel memory may not be accessed when handling kernel space
SLB misses, so care should be taken there. However user SLB misses can
access any kernel memory, which can be used to move some fields out of
the paca (in later patches).
User SLB misses could quite easily reconcile IRQs and set up a first
class kernel environment and exit via ret_from_except, however that
doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment, so we only do that if a
bad fault is encountered.

Since RFC:
- Added MSR[RI] handling
- Fixed up a register loss bug exposed by irq tracing (Aneesh)
- Reject misses outside the defined kernel regions (Aneesh)
- Added several more sanity checks and error handling (Aneesh), we may
look at consolidating these tests and tightenig up the code but for
a first pass we decided it's better to check carefully.
Since v1:
- Fixed SLB cache corruption (Aneesh)
- Fixed untidy SLBE allocation "leak" in get_vsid error case
- Now survives some stress testing on real hardware
