[PATCH] ppc32: fix ppc440 pagetable attributes 

This patch fixes a bug in the PPC440 pagetable attributes that breaks swap
support.  It also adds some notes on the PPC440 attribute fields.

*
* PPC 440 core has following TLB attribute fields;
*
* TLB1:
* 0 1 2 3 4 ... 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
* RPN................................. - - - - - - ERPN.......
*
* TLB2:
* 0 1 2 3 4 ... 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
* - - - - - - U0 U1 U2 U3 W I M G E - UX UW UR SX SW SR
*
* There are some constrains and options, to decide mapping software bits
* into TLB entry.
*
* - PRESENT *must* be in the bottom three bits because swap cache
* entries use the top 29 bits for TLB2.
*
* - FILE *must* be in the bottom three bits because swap cache
* entries use the top 29 bits for TLB2.
*
* - CACHE COHERENT bit (M) has no effect on PPC440 core, because it
* doesn't support SMP. So we can use this as software bit, like
* DIRTY.
*
* PPC Book-E Linux implementation uses PPC HW PTE bit field definition,
* even it doesn't have HW PTE. 0-11th LSB of PTE stand for memory
* protection-related function. (See PTE structure in include/asm-ppc/mmu.h)
* Definition of _PAGE_XXX in "include/asm-ppc/pagetable.h" stands for
* above bits. Note that those bits values are CPU dependent, not
* architecture.
*
* Kernel PTE entry holds arch-dependent swp_entry structure under certain
* situation. In other words, in such situation, some portion of PTE bits
* are used as swp_entry. In PPC implementation, 3-24th LSB are shared with
* swp_entry, however 0-2nd three LSB still hold protection values.
* That means three protection bits are reserved for both PTE and SWAP
* entry at the most three LSBs.
*
* There are three protection bits available for SWAP entry;
* _PAGE_PRESENT
* _PAGE_FILE
* _PAGE_HASHPTE (if HW has)
*
* So those three bits have to be inside of 0-2nd LSB of PTE.
