We expect this is actually faster, and we end up needing more space than we
can get from the SPRGs in some instances.  This is also useful when running
as a guest OS - SPRGs4-7 do not have guest versions.

8 slots are allocated in thread_info for this even though we only actually
use 4 of them - this allows space for future code to have more scratch
space (and we know we'll need it for things like hugetlb).
