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.
