Subject: [PATCH, RFC] improved hacks to allow -rt to run kernbench on POWER

Hello again!

A few random patches that permit POWER to pass kernbench on -rt.
Many of these have more focus on expediency than care for correctness,
so might best be thought of as workarounds than as complete solutions.
There are still issues not addressed by this patch, including:

o	kmem_cache_alloc() from non-preemptible context during
	bootup (xics_startup() building the irq_radix_revmap()).

o	unmap_vmas() freeing pages with preemption disabled.
	Might be able to address this by linking the pages together,
	then freeing them en masse after preemption has been re-enabled,
	but there is likely a better approach.

This patch handles the batched TLB-flush mechanism more cleanly (many
thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for his guidance here).  It is also restricted
to powerpc arch-specific files along with one open-firmware file.

Thoughts?
