e821ea70f3 introduced a bug by copying
some 64-bit originated code as-is to be used by both 32 and 64-bit
but this code contains a 64-bit ony "cmpdi" instruction.
This changes it to cmpwi, which is fine since VRSAVE can only contains
a 32-bit value anyway.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

When moving load_up_altivec to vector.S a typo in a comment caused a
thinko setting the wrong variable.

Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated
in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that
is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into
vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common
implementation of load_up_fpu.
I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case
I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet).

Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits. We already
had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form
of the mtfsf instruction. Fortunately this new form is decoded as
an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors.

Now that the register names and bit definitions are all in reg.h,
use that instead of processor.h in assembly code in a few places.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
