[PATCH][PPC32] Make PPC40x large tlb mapping optional

[PATCH][PPC32] Make PPC40x large tlb mapping optional

[Matt Porter]

This makes the PPC40x lowmem large tlb mapping selectable via
a cmdline option.  This allows use of the normal page-sized mapping
so that kernel text can be read only if desired.
