powerpc/8xx: Move SW perf counters in first 32kb of memory
In order to simplify time critical exceptions handling 8xx specific SW perf counters, this patch moves the counters into the beginning of memory. This is possible because .text is readable and the counters are never modified outside of the handlers. By doing this, we avoid having to set a second register with the upper part of the address of the counters.
