This breaks 64-bit BookE, which is using MSR_RI in bookehv_interrupts.S.

eg. ppc64_book3e_allmodconfig gives:

  arch/powerpc/kvm/bookehv_interrupts.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/powerpc/kvm/bookehv_interrupts.S:221: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `|'
  etc.

ISA v2.07B says MSR_RI is Book3S only, but looking at the e500mc manual
it does have bit 62 defined as RI.

I can fix it with:

+#if !(defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) && !defined(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E)) && !defined(CONFIG_40x)
 #define MSR_RI         __MASK(MSR_RI_LG)       /* Recoverable Exception */


But that's getting really ugly, and we'd have to repeat it elsewhere.

I think we need a kconfig symbol that captures which platforms should
use MSR_RI, something like:

  CONFIG PPC_MSR_RI
    def_bool y
    depends on !40x && (!BOOKE || PPC_BOOK3E)


Or maybe we should just define MSR_RI to 0 for platforms that don't use
it, to avoid so much ifdefing?
