This patchset:
1) provides several MMU TLB handling optimisation on MPC8xx.
2) adds support of 16k pages on MPC8xx.
All changes have been successfully tested on a custom board equipped with MPC885

The two differences with first version of the patch are:
1) I removed the patch number 10, which was implementing a 16 bit alignment of the
PGDIR. It is not worth potentially wasting up to 64k of memory just for removing one
instruction (ori).
2) I managed to preserve r11 while calculating the level 2 address, therefore
no more need to save r11 into CR.
