MIPS: Put PGD in C0_CONTEXT for 64-bit R2 processors.
Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers. Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.
