[PATCH] powerpc/e200: Skip tlb1 entries used for kernel mapping

From: Bharat Bhushan <hidden>

E200 have TLB1 only and it does not have TLB0.
So TLB1 are used for mapping kernel and user-space both.
TLB miss handler for E200 does not consider skipping TLBs
used for kernel mapping. This patch ensures that we skip
tlb1 entries used for kernel mapping (tlbcam_index).

How much more is needed to get e200 working?  What was this tested on?

The existing handler already loads tlbcam_index and uses that when
wrapping.  What specifically is causing that to not work (perhaps it's
just a matter of initializing NV when tlbcam_index changes?), and why
does this patch leave that code in place?

Why these two instructions instead of "bge 6f"?  If it's for branch
prediction, does e200 pay attention to static hints?  If it doesn't,
you could move the wrap code out-of-line.

The 4-argument form of rlwimi is easier to read.

BTW, The TLB miss handler would be simpler/faster if you reserve the
upper entries rather than the lower entries.  Then you would just have
one value to check (instead of using TLB1CFG[NENTRY]) to see if you wrap
back to zero.
