    [POWERPC] Fix potential duplicate entry in SLB shadow buffer
    
    We were getting a duplicate entry in the SLB shadow buffer in
    slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment
    as PAGE_OFFSET, which on POWER6 causes the hypervisor to terminate
    the partition with an error.  This fixes it.
    
    Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer
    entry) for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the
    CPU.  This isn't a major problem, since an appropriate entry will
    be created on demand, but this fixes that also for consistency.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get the fix and retry.
