[PATCH] ppc32: Allow adjust of pfn offset in pte

[Kumar Gala]

Andrew,

Allow the pfn to be offset by more than just PAGE_SHIFT in the pte.  
Today, PAGE_SHIFT tends to allow us to have 12-bits of flags in the pte.  
In the future if we have a larger pte we can allocate more bits for flags 
by offsetting the pfn even further.
