I'm not completely sure how this should be handled, there's a get_physical_address in mmu_helper.c but it's a static function and divided by processor families instead of MMU types, so get_physical_address_* should be a new function?

The new get_physical_address_* function would be a mmu-hash(32|64) that do something like ppc_radix64_xlate and add a function to mmu-book3s-v3 that call either the radix64 or the hash64 function and also handle real mode access.

The entry points that we are concerned about are:
  ppc_cpu_get_phys_page_debug
  ppc_cpu_tlb_fill

Currently there is a hook, pcc->handle_mmu_fault, which is used by ppc_cpu_tlb_fill, but is insufficiently general.  We're going to remove that hook.

We're going to add a new hook with the same interface as ppc_radix64_xlate that will be used by both ppc_cpu_get_phys_page_debug and ppc_cpu_tlb_fill.

So, just to make sure we understand, what we want to do is:

* take all the common code from *_handle_mmu_fault and put it in ppc_cpu_tlb_fill

* take whatever is not common and hide it in an equivalent of ppc_radix64_xlate

* make the 2 entry points only use these new functions, so we can compile ppc_cpu_get_phys_page_debug

* move get_physical_address and all functions called by it somewhere that will compile when we disable tcg (again, to compile get_phys_page_debug)

Is that it? Sorry if this is very obvious, we never dealt with hardware and mmu stuff before...
