Paul Mackerras e31aa453bb powerpc: Use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE only for constants on 64-bit
Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols
generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one,
and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when
we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle.  This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.

It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.
