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.

The new pmap.c is based on NetBSD's newer pmap.c (for the mpc6xx processors)
which is 70% faster than the older code that the original pmap.c was based
on. It has also been based on the framework established by jake's initial
sparc64 pmap.c.
There is no change to how far the kernel gets (it makes it to the mountroot
prompt in psim) but the new pmap code is a lot cleaner.
