Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/17] powerpc/e500: Remove conditional "lwsync" substitution

As FreeScale e500 systems have different cacheline sizes from e500mc, it
is basically impossible for the kernel to support both in a single
system image at present.

Given that one is SPE-float and the other is classic-float, they are not
generally userspace-compatible either.

This patch updates the conditional to depend on whether the system is
actually targetting an "e500" or "e500mc" core and entirely removes the
unused sync-to-lwsync-replacement on e500v1/e500v2 systems.
