On 8xx, in the case where a pagefault happens for a process who's not
the owner of the vma in question (ptrace for instance), the flush
operation is performed via the physical address.
Unfortunately, that results in a strange, unexplainable "icbi"
instruction fault, most likely due to a CPU bug (see oops below).
Avoid that by flushing the page via its kernel virtual address.
Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#2]

sys_get_thread_area does not memset to 0 its struct user_desc info before
copying it to user space... since sizeof(struct user_desc) is 16 while the
actual datas which are filled are only 12 bytes + 9 bits (across the
bitfields), there is a (small) information leak.

The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When
running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but
within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system
appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP
emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.
