    powerpc/8xx: make user addr DTLB miss the short path · 36eb1542
    Christophe Leroy authored
    User space DTLB miss represent approximatly 90% of TLB misses
    so make it the shortest path.
    
    Also remove an unneccessary double jump in FixupDAR
    
    Before this patch, we spend 3.3 TB ticks in the handler for each
    user address miss and 3.4 TB ticks for each kernel address miss
    After this patch, we send 3.0 TB ticks in the handler for each
    user address miss and 3.9 TB ticks for each kernel address miss
    Taking into account that user misses represent 90% of the total,
    this patch provides an improvement of approx. 9%
