[PATCH] ppc32: 8xx: update DataTLBMiss exception comment
On PPC 8xx, the DataTLBMiss handler does not jump directly to the page fault handler, as was the case in v2.4. It instead loads an invalid TLB which causes a subsequent DataTLBError exception. The comment on top of it haven't been update to reflect the change, though.
