MMU feature bits are defined such that we use the lower half to
present MMU family features. Remove the strict split of half and
also move Radix to a mmu family feature. Radix introduce a new MMU
model and strictly speaking it is a new MMU family. This also free
up bits which can be used for individual features later.

<content type='text'>
Move the handling of the disable_radix command line argument into the
newly created mmu_early_init_devtree().

It's an MMU option so it's preferable to have it in an mm related file,
and it also means platforms that don't support radix don't have to carry
the code.

This patch adds the kernel command line disable_radix which disable
the radix MMU mode even if firmware indicates radix support via
ibm,pa-features device tree node.

This helps in testing different MMU mode easily.

The function is called by both 32-bit and 64-bit early setup right
after early_init_devtree(). All it does is run yet another early
DT parser which is precisely what early_init_devtree() is about,
so move it in there.

<content type='text'>
We need to update the user TM feature bits (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM) to mirror what we do with the kernel TM feature
bit.

At the moment, if firmware reports TM is not available we turn off
the kernel TM feature bit but leave the userspace ones on. Userspace
thinks it can execute TM instructions and it dies trying.

This (together with a QEMU patch) fixes PR KVM, which doesn't currently
support TM.
