    libkvm: support powerpc64 radix minidumps

    PowerPC64 radix minidumps use a 64KB root directory followed by three
    levels of 4KB page tables.  Add an MMU backend which walks those tables,
    handles large-page leaves, and decodes their always-big-endian entries
    on both powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

    Reject old radix minidumps whose pmap section is empty with a specific
    diagnostic.  Add a synthetic powerpc64le dump test which reads a page
    through both its kernel and direct-map addresses.
