In ppc8xx tlbmiss handler, we consider a page valid if both

Is there any chance to have _PAGE_ACCESSED set and not _PAGE_PRESENT ?
Otherwise we could simplify the handler by considering the page valid  
only when _PAGE_ACCESSED is set

When _PAGE_PRESENT is not set, the PTE becomes a swap PTE and a pile
of the other bits can be repurposed, you may want to verify if
_PAGE_ACCESSED is one of them.
