    powerpc/powermac: Fix occasional SMP boot failure · c478b581

    The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
    SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
    of code and data.
    
    This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
    secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
    Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
    any load or store other than fetching code.
    
    This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
    variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
    that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
    create bogus ERAT entries.
    
    I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by
    mistake while at it.
