Usually page table entries only have the M (coherence) flag set, if the
kernel is in SMP mode or to avoid data corruption due to CPU bugs (e.g.
some 74xx CPUs). KVM on book3s_32 however always sets the M flag for a
PTE, which locks up machines based on the amigaone platform when running
QEMU or MoL.
Setting the M flag depending on CPU_FTR_NEED_COHERENT also makes KVM work
on this platform and aligns the PTE setup to the rest of the kernel.

With this patch I could successfully run a Debian Wheezy installation
inside QEMU started with --enable-kvm on my AmigaOneG3SE.
