KVM: PPC: Improve split mode

When in split mode, instruction relocation and data relocation are not equal.

So far we implemented this mode by reserving a special pseudo-VSID for the
two cases and flushing all PTEs when going into split mode, which is slow.

Unfortunately 32bit Linux and Mac OS X use split mode extensively. So to not
slow down things too much, I came up with a different idea: Mark the split
mode with a bit in the VSID and then treat it like any other segment.

This means we can just flush the shadow segment cache, but keep the PTEs
intact. I verified that this works with ppc32 Linux and Mac OS X 10.4
guests and does speed them up.
