" The Abbreviated Virtual Address (AVA) field in register RB must
  contain bits 14:65 of the virtual address translated by the TLB
  entry to be invalidated."

That indicate we should not mask the top 16 bits. So remove the same.

Older versions of the architecture (2.02 and earler) require the
masking, so we can't just unconditionally remove it, since that would
potentially break POWER5 and PPC970.  People are definitely still
running Linux bare-metal on PPC970s (though arguably not on POWER5).
