powerpc/64s: add a table of implicit soft-masked addresses
Commit 9d1988ca87dd ("powerpc/64: treat low kernel text as irqs soft-masked") ends up catching too much code, including ret_from_fork, and parts of interrupt and syscall return that do not expect to be interrupts to be soft-masked. If an interrupt gets marked pending, and then the code proceeds out of the implicit soft-masked region it will fail to deal with the pending interrupt. Fix this by adding a new table of addresses which explicitly marks the regions of code that are soft masked. This table is only checked for interrupts that below __end_soft_masked, so most kernel interrupts will not have the overhead of the table search.
