powerpc/8xx: Add Kernel Userspace Access Protection
This patch adds Kernel Userspace Access Protection on the 8xx. When a page is RO or RW, it is set RO or RW for Key 0 and NA for Key 1. Up to now, the User group is defined with Key 0 for both User and Supervisor. By changing the group to Key 0 for User and Key 1 for Supervisor, this patch prevents the Kernel from being able to access user data. At exception entry, the kernel saves SPRN_MD_AP in the regs struct, and reapply the protection. At exception exit it restores SPRN_MD_AP with the value saved on exception entry.
