[POWERPC] Spufs support for 64K LS mappings on 4K kernels

This adds an option to spufs when the kernel is configured for
4K page to give it the ability to use 64K pages for SPE local store
mappings.

Currently, we are optimistic and try order 4 allocations when creating
contexts. If that fails, the code will fallback to 4K automatically.

This option causes SPE local stores to be mapped in process
address spaces using 64K pages while the rest of the kernel
uses 4K pages. This can improve performances of applications
using multiple SPEs by lowering the TLB pressure on them.
