Some HTAB providers (namely the PS3) ignore the SECONDARY flag. They
just put an entry in the htab as secondary when they see fit.
So we need to check the return value of htab_insert to remember the
correct slot id so we can actually invalidate the entry again.
Fixes KVM on the PS3.

We had code to make use of the secondary htab buckets, but kept that
disabled because it was unstable when I put it in.
I checked again if that's still the case and apparently it was only
exposing some instability that was there anyways before. I haven't
seen any badness related to usage of secondary htab entries so far.
This should speed up guest memory allocations by quite a bit, because
we now have more space to put PTEs in.

We designed the Book3S port of KVM as modular as possible. Most
of the code could be easily used on a Book3S_32 host as well.
The main difference between 32 and 64 bit cores is the MMU. To keep
things well separated, we treat the book3s_64 MMU as one possible compile
option.
This patch adds all the MMU helpers the rest of the code needs in
order to modify the host's MMU, like setting PTEs and segments.
