powerpc/fsl-booke: Make CAM entries used for lowmem configurable
On booke processors, the code that maps low memory only uses up to three CAM entries, even though there are sixteen and nothing else uses them. Make this number configurable in the advanced options menu along with max low memory size. If one wants 1 GB of lowmem, then it's typically necessary to have four CAM entries.

+ This option allows you to set the maximum number of CAM slots that

+ available and even more limited number that will fit in the L1 MMU.
