[v2 PATCH 2/2] powerpc/8xx: use _PAGE_RO instead of _PAGE_RW

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Dec 17 2014 - 04:14:43 EST


On powerpc 8xx, in TLB entries, 0x400 bit is set to 1 for read-only pages
and is set to 0 for RW pages. So we should use _PAGE_RO instead of _PAGE_RW

v2 is a complete rework compared to v1
