Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols
generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one,
and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when
we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle. This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.
It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

Currently all iSeries secondary CPUs spin directly on the cpu_start
field in their paca. Make them spin on the global
__secondary_hold_spinloop until after the pacas have been initialised.
As Stephen Rothwell points out, this works at the moment because
__secondary_hold_spinloop is being set already, but iSeries isn't
looking at it :)

The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically
initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and
switch to our real paca immediately after boot.
This is in order to make the 1024 cpu patches easier since they will no
longer have to statically initialise the pacas for iSeries.
