While looking closer on 8xx TLB handling I noticed we were taking
an extra TLB Error when making a page dirty. Tracked it down to:
static inline pte_t pte_mkdirty(pte_t pte) {
	pte_val(pte) |= _PAGE_DIRTY; return pte; }
pte_mkdirty does not set HWWRITE thus forcing a new
TLB error to clear it. Adding HWWRITE to pte_mkdirty fixes the
problem.

Looking at (especially pte_mkclean):
static inline pte_t pte_wrprotect(pte_t pte) {
	pte_val(pte) &= ~(_PAGE_RW | _PAGE_HWWRITE); return pte; }
static inline pte_t pte_mkclean(pte_t pte) {
	pte_val(pte) &= ~(_PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_HWWRITE); return pte; }

it looks like a mistake not to include HWWRITE in pte_mkdirty(),
what do you think?
