Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.
This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

Currently, all 32-bit powerpc platforms use asm-ppc/pgtable.h and
asm-ppc/pgalloc.h, even when otherwise compiled with ARCH=powerpc.
Those asm-ppc files are a fairly nasty tangle of #ifdefs including a
bunch of things which shouldn't be necessary any more in arch/powerpc.
Cleaning up that mess is going to take a while, but this patch is a
first step. It separates the asm-powerpc/pg{alloc,table}.h into 64
bit and 32 bit versions in asm-powerpc, which the basic .h files in
asm-powerpc select based on config. We make a few tiny tweaks to the
innards of the files along the way, making the outermost ifdefs
(double-inclusion protection and __KERNEL__) a little cleaner, and
#including asm-generic/pgtable.h from the top-level
asm-powerpc/pgtable.h (since both the old 32-bit and 64-bit versions
ended with such an #include).
