mmu-hash*: Correctly mask RPN from hash PTE
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE At present we take the whole of word 1 of the hash PTE as the real page number used to calculate the translated address. This is incorrect, because it leaves the flags from the low bits of PTE word 1 in place in the rpm. We mostly get away with that because the value is later masked by TARGET_PAGE_MASK. More recent 64-bit CPUs also have a small number of flag bits (PP0 and KEY) in the top bits of PTE word 1. Any guest which used those bits would fail with the current code. This patch fixes the problem by correctly masking out the RPN field of PTE word 1. This is safe, even for older CPUs which didn't have PP0 and KEY, because although the RPN notionally extended to the very top of PTE word 1, none of those CPUs actually implemented that many real address bits. We add analogous masking to the 32-bit code, even though it also doesn't have the high flag bits, for consistency and clarity.
