We didn't make use of SLB entry 0 because ... of no good reason. SLB entry 0
will always be used by the Linux linear SLB entry, so the fact that slbia
does not invalidate it doesn't matter as we overwrite SLB 0 on exit anyway.

Just enable use of SLB entry 0 for our shadow SLB code.

I think that this is a good idea, but to be sure of invalidating all
ERAT entries you should write zeroes to SLB entry 0 before the slbia
on guest exit.
