Re: [RFC PATCH 7/7] powerpc: Support RELOCATABLE kernel for PPC44x

Changes:
- Find out address where kernel runs
- Create the first 256MB TLB from online detected address

Limitations:
- Kernel must be aligned to 256MB

Backport:
- Changes in page.h are backported from newer kernel version

mmu_mapin_ram function has to reflect offset in memory start.
memstart_addr and kernstart_addr are setup directly from asm
code to ensure that only ppc44x is affected.

Hmm. So we are assuming we are running from a 1:1 mapping at the entry.
It is much more safe to read our tlb entry and use the RPN instead.

1) You have to use ERPN value in the higher word of kernel_start_addr.
2) You have to account for the (KERNEL_BASE - PAGE_OFFSET) shift for kernel_start_addr.
