Ensure normal exception handler are able to manage stuff with

allthough there is no intention to really activate CONFIG_VMAP_STACK

40x uses SPRN_DEAR instead of SPRN_DAR and SPRN_ESR instead of

The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1
perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed

- Power7 uses 0x400f0
- Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054
- Power10 uses only 0x3e054
Update these selftests to use the value
