Christophe Leroy bac4cffc7c powerpc/32s: Introduce _PAGE_READ and remove _PAGE_USER
On 603 MMU, TLB missed are handled by SW and there are separated
DTLB and ITLB. It is therefore possible to implement execute-only
protection by not loading DTLB when read access is not permitted.

To do that, _PAGE_READ flag is needed but there is no bit available
for it in PTE. On the other hand the only real use of _PAGE_USER is
to implement PAGE_NONE by clearing _PAGE_USER.

As _PAGE_NONE can also be implemented by clearing _PAGE_READ, remove
_PAGE_USER and add _PAGE_READ. Then use the virtual address to know
whether user rights or kernel rights are to be used.

With that change, 603 MMU now honors execute-only protection.

For hash (604) MMU it is more tricky because hash table is common to
load/store and execute. Nevertheless it is still possible to check
whether _PAGE_READ is set before loading hash table for a load/store
access. At least it can't be read unless it is executed first.
