ivpr?

Please use positive logic (ifdef/else, rather than ifndef/else).

Please use the more readable 4-operand version of "rlwinm".

Is there a reason why this new code is only used with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE? If @got doesn't work without CONFIG_RELOCATABLE,
then the ifdef should be pushed into LOAD_REG_ADDR.

Likewise with other ifdefs on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.

I'm having a hard time parsing the comment. Plus, it feels wrong to
decouple tovirt(r2,r2) from the call to relative_toc.

Maybe this function should be renamed to something ivpr-specific, so
nothing else gets added there.

Can't we skip the interrupt copying on book3e? And if not for some
reason, why start at _stext?
