By default, PPC8xx PINs an ITLB on the first 8M of memory in order to avoid any ITLB miss on kernel code. However, with some debug functions like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and (soon to come) DEBUG_RODATA, the PINned TLB is invalidated soon after startup so ITLB missed start to happen also on the kernel code. In order to avoid any ITLB miss in a critical section, we have to ensure that their is no page boundary crossed between the setup of a new value in SRR0/SRR1 and the associated RFI. This cannot be done easily if entry_32 functions sits in the middle of other .text functions. By placing entry_32 just after the .head section (as already done for entry_64 on PPC64), we can more easily ensure the issue doesn't happen. Ex: with this change, all entry_32 functions playing with srr0/srr1 appears between 0xc0002000 and 0xc0002fff on PPC_8xx.
