[PATCH v2 13/25] powerpc/8xx: also use r3 in the ITLB miss in all situations

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Sep 22 2015 - 12:56:23 EST


We are spending between 40 and 160 cycles with a mean of 65 cycles
in the TLB handling routines (measured with mftbl) so make it more
simple althought it adds one instruction
