o Eliminate tlb0[] (a s/w copy of TLB0)
- The table contents cannot be maintained reliably in multiple MMU
environments, where asynchronous events (invalidations from other cores)
can change our local TLB0 contents underneath.
- Simplify and optimize TLB flushing: system wide invalidations are
performed using tlbivax instruction (propagates to other cores), for
local MMU invalidations a new optimized routine (assembly) is introduced.
o Improve and simplify TID allocation and management.
- Let each core keep track of its TID allocations.
- Simplify TID recycling, eliminate dead code.
- Drop the now unused powerpc/booke/support.S file.
o Improve page tables management logic.
o Simplify TLB1 manipulation routines.
o Other improvements and polishing.

of OFW access semantics, in order to allow future support for real-mode
OF access and flattened device frees. OF client interface modules are
implemented using KOBJ, in a similar way to the PPC PMAP modules.
Because we need Open Firmware to be available before mutexes can be used on
sparc64, changes are also included to allow KOBJ to be used very early in
the boot process by only using the mutex once we know it has been initialized.

- Make LBC resources management self-contained: introduce explicit LBC
resources definition (much like the OCP), provide dedicated rman for LB mem
space.
- Full configuration of an LB chip select device: program LAW and BR/OR, map
into KVA, handle all LB attributes (bus width, machine select, ecc,
write protect etc).
- Factor out LAW manipulation routines into shared code, adjust OCP area
accordingly.
- Other LBC fixes and clean-ups.

This commit also modifies the OFW PCI enumeration procedure on PowerPC to
allow the bus to find non-firmware-enumerated devices that Apple likes to add,
and adds some useful Open Firmware properties (compat and name) to the pnpinfo
string of children on OFW SBus, EBus, PCI, and MacIO links. Because of the
change to PCI enumeration on PowerPC, X has started working again on PPC
machines with Grackle hostbridges.
