[POWERPC] Use cache-inhibited large page bit from firmware

Discussions with firmware architects have confirmed that the bit in
the ibm,pa-features property that indicates support for
cache-inhibited large (>= 64kB) page mappings does in fact mean that
the hypervisor allows 64kB mappings to I/O devices.

Thus we can now enable the code that tests that bit and sets our
CPU_FTR_CI_LARGE_PAGE feature bit.
