MIPS: PowerTV: Use O(1) algorthm for phys_to_dma/dma_to_phys


Replace phys_to_dma()/dma_to_phys() looping algorithm with an O(1) algorithm
The approach taken is inspired by the sparse memory implementation: take a
certain number of high-order bits off the address them, use this as an
index into a table containing an offset to the desired address and add
it to the original value. There is a table for mapping physical addresses
to DMA addresses and another one for the reverse mapping. The table sizes
depend on how fine-grained the mappings need to be; Coarser granularity
less to smaller tables.  On a processor with 32-bit physical and DMA
addresses, with 4 MIB granularity, memory usage is two 2048-byte arrays.
Each 32-byte cache line thus covers 64 MiB of address space.

Also, renames phys_to_bus() to phys_to_dma() and bus_to_phys() to
dma_to_phys() to align with kernel usage.

[Ralf: Fixed silly build breakage due to stackoverflow warning caused by
huge array on stack.]
