powerpc/8xx: Always pin kernel instruction TLB
Various kernel asm modifies SRR0/SRR1 just before executing a rfi. If such code crosses a page boundary you risk a TLB miss which will clobber SRR0/SRR1. Avoid this by always pinning kernel instruction TLB space. Signed-off-by: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
