Many thanks to Peter Grehan for suggesting this design and implementing
the MMU KOBJ inheritance mechanism.
mappings need to end up in the kernel anyway since the kernel begins
executing in OF context. Separating them adds needless complexity,
especially since the powerpc64 and mmu_oea64 code gave up on it a long
time ago.
As a side effect, the PPC ofw_machdep code is no longer AIM-specific,
so move it to powerpc/ofw.
hypervisor infrastructure support:
- Fix coexistence of multiple platform modules in the same kernel
- Allow platform modules to provide an SMP topology
- PowerPC hypervisors limit the amount of memory accessible in real mode.
Allow the platform modules to specify the maximum real-mode address,
and modify the bits of the kernel that need to allocate
real-mode-accessible buffers to respect this limits.
