I haven't gone through this all (since it won't apply/build now), but
just a couple quick comments:

Just remove this ifdef completely.

Are these really KVM constants, or e500 in general? If general e500, you
should put them in a general e500 header.

You probably want to distinguish between hardware TLB size and guest TLB
size, since TLBnCFG allows you to trivially expose a larger virtual TLB
to the guest than the hardware really supports.

I don't really like these names, but they're completely local so it's
not too big a deal.

You should put these externs somewhere in a generic e500 header, since
they are generic e500 globals. They should probably also be renamed to
reflect that...

Either way it's something you should submit, as a small separate patch,
to the e500 maintainer to get their ack.
