powerpc/8xx: Restore _PAGE_WRITETHRU
8xx has not had WRITETHRU due to lack of bits in the pte. After the recent rewrite of the 8xx TLB code, there are two bits left. Use one of them to WRITETHRU. Perhaps use the last SW bit to PAGE_SPECIAL or PAGE_FILE? Signed-off-by: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
