mmu-hash64: Implement Virtual Page Class Key Protection
Version 2.06 of the Power architecture describes an additional page protection mechanism. Each virtual page has a "class" (0-31) recorded in the PTE. The AMR register contains bits which can prohibit reads and/or writes on a class by class basis. Interestingly, the AMR is userspace readable and writable, however user mode writes are masked by the contents of the UAMOR which is privileged. This patch implements this protection mechanism, along with the AMR and UAMOR SPRs. The architecture also specifies a hypervisor-privileged AMOR register which masks user and supervisor writes to the AMR and UAMOR. We leave this out for now, since we don't at present model hypervisor mode correctly in any case.
