This will ease ports to other cores.
Also remove unused "struct kvm_tlb" while we're at it.

When the VM exits, we must call put_page() for every page referenced in the
shadow TLB.
Without this patch, we usually leak 30-50 host pages (120 - 200 KiB with 4 KiB
pages). The maximum number of pages leaked is the size of our shadow TLB, 64
pages.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.
The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do
on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
performance improvement: about 30%.

Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything
below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be
modified in a single exit.
Guest boot time performance improvement: about 15%.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
