On XLP the XContext PTEbase is [63:55], but the current code tries to
use XContext [63:48] to store the processor ID, which will not work.

I can probably work around the issue by changing the shift from 51 to
58, but that would not leave enough space for the 128 cpu config we
want to support.

I will send patch to fix this and to use the XLP c0 scratch registers
(cop0 $22) in the tlb handlers. But until the PGD_C0_CONTEXT code is
updated, this patch is probably the best solution.
