AMOR should be setup in HV mode, we set it up once
and let the generic kernel handle IAMR. This patch is
used to enable storage keys in a following patch as
defined in ISA 3. We don't setup AMOR in DD1, since we
can't setup IAMR in DD1 (bits have to be 0). If we setup
AMOR some other code could potentially try to set IAMR
(guest kernel for example).

I guess michael mentioned this in another email, why two variables ?
Left overs from when we did the OR'ing of the mask. But luckily
the compiler does the right thing when generating code
