A few changes to retrieve DAR and DSISR from struct regs
instead of retrieving them directly, as they may have
changed due to a TLB miss.

Also modifies hash_page() and friends to work with virtual
data addresses instead of physical ones. Same on load_up_fpu()
and load_up_altivec().

This patch results in qemu boot failures (mac99 with pmac32_defconfig).
Images fail silently; there is no console output. Reverting the patch
fixes the problem. Bisect log is attached below.

Assuming this was tested on real hardware, am I correct to assume that qemu
for ppc32 (more specifically, qemu's mac99 and g3beige machines) no longer
works with the upstream kernel ?
Before submitting the series, I successfully tested:
- Real HW with powerpc 8xx
- Real HW with powerpc 832x
- Qemu's mac99

I'll re-check the upstream kernel.

In the mean time, you can still unselect CONFIG_VMAP_STACK in your config.
