powerpc/64: Define ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE for 64-bit

This is used in poison.h to offset poison values so that they don't
point directly into user space.

The value we choose sits roughly between user and kernel space, which
means on their own the poison values don't point anywhere useful. If an
attacker can cause an access at some offset from the poison value then
we may still be in trouble, but by putting the poison values between
user and kernel space we maximise the required size of that offset.
