From: Frederic Barrat <fbarrat@linux.ibm.com>

The cache watch facility uses the same register interface to handle
entries in the NVP, NVG and NVC tables. A bit-field in the 'watchX
specification' register tells the table type. So far, that bit-field
was not read and the code assumed a read/write to the NVP table.

This patch allows to read/write entries in the NVG and NVC table as
well.

This belongs to patch 1.

I was trying to reduce the size of the first patch set and this could be 
isolated to separate patch set.  I can move it back to patch set 1.

Also note above, this is where I originally added the assert...

Disregard these comments.  After rereading I understand.   I thought you 
meant that this entire  patch set should be in 1...
