sparc64: Make PAGE_OFFSET variable.

Choose PAGE_OFFSET dynamically based upon cpu type.

Original UltraSPARC-I (spitfire) chips only supported a 44-bit
virtual address space.

Newer chips (T4 and later) support 52-bit virtual addresses
and up to 47-bits of physical memory space.

Therefore we have to adjust PAGE_SIZE dynamically based upon
the capabilities of the chip.

Note that this change alone does not allow us to support > 43-bit
physical memory, to do that we need to re-arrange our page table
support.  The current encodings of the pmd_t and pgd_t pointers
restricts us to "32 + 11" == 43 bits.

This change can waste quite a bit of memory for the various tables.
In particular, a future change should work to size and allocate
kern_linear_bitmap[] and sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap[] dynamically.
This isn't easy as we really cannot take a TLB miss when accessing
kern_linear_bitmap[].  We'd have to lock it into the TLB or similar.
