MMU shared context patching will be supported on Sun4V platforms with
Niagara 2 or later processors. There will be a need for kernel patching
based on this criteria. This 'patch' simply adds a comment as a reminder
and placeholder to add that support.
For now, MMU shared context support will be determined at follows:
- sun4v patching will be used for shared context support. This is too
general as most but not all sun4v platforms contain the required
processors.
- A new config option (CONFIG_SHARED_MMU_CTX) is added
