search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also used by the TLB miss handler. Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries which needed to be invalidated. This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant instructions.
