[SPARC64]: Access TSB with physical addresses when possible.
This way we don't need to lock the TSB into the TLB.
The trick is that every TSB load/store is registered into
a special instruction patch section. The default uses
virtual addresses, and the patch instructions use physical
address load/stores.
We can't do this on all chips because only cheetah+ and later
have the physical variant of the atomic quad load.
