[POWERPC] 8xx: Work around CPU15 erratum.

The CPU15 erratum on MPC8xx chips can cause incorrect code execution
under certain circumstances, where there is a conditional or indirect
branch in the last word of a page, with a target in the last cache line
of the next page.  This patch implements one of the suggested
workarounds, by forcing a TLB miss whenever execution crosses a page
boundary.  This is done by invalidating the pages before and after the
one being loaded into the TLB in the ITLB miss handler.

help
This enables a workaround for erratum CPU15 on MPC8xx chips.
This bug can cause incorrect code execution under certain
circumstances. This workaround adds some overhead (a TLB miss
every time execution crosses a page boundary), and you may wish
to disable it if you have worked around the bug in the compiler
(by not placing conditional branches or branches to LR or CTR
in the last word of a page, with a target of the last cache
line in the next page), or if you have used some other
workaround.
If in doubt, say Y here.
