[POWERPC] Fix Kexec/Kdump for power6
On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work. VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0 (i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table, using entries put there by the hypervisor. This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to make sure these entries are left untouched. This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of plpar_pte_remove_raw().
