target/mips: Increase number of TLB entries on the 34Kf core (16 -> 64)
Per "MIPS32 34K Processor Core Family Software User's Manual,
Revision 01.13" page 8 in "Joint TLB (JTLB)" section:
"The JTLB is a fully associative TLB cache containing 16, 32,
or 64-dual-entries mapping up to 128 virtual pages to their
corresponding physical addresses."
There is no particular reason to restrict the 34Kf core model to
16 TLB entries, so raise its config to 64.
This is helpful for other projects, in particular the Yocto Project:
Yocto Project uses qemu-system-mips 34Kf cpu model, to run 32bit
MIPS CI loop. It was observed that in this case CI test execution
time was almost twice longer than 64bit MIPS variant that runs
under MIPS64R2-generic model. It was investigated and concluded
that the difference in number of TLBs 16 in 34Kf case vs 64 in
MIPS64R2-generic is responsible for most of CI real time execution
difference. Because with 16 TLBs linux user-land trashes TLB more
and it needs to execute more instructions in TLB refill handler
calls, as result it runs much longer.
