For some SoC (such as the FSL BookE) even though there does have
a hardware FPU, but not all floating point instructions are
implemented. Unfortunately some versions of gcc do use these
unimplemented instructions. Then we have to enable the math emulation
to workaround this issue. It seems a little redundant to have the
support to emulate all the floating point instructions in this case.
So split the math emulation into two parts. One is for the SoC which
doesn't have FPU at all and the other for the SoC which does have the
hardware FPU and only need some special floating point instructions to
be emulated.

By doing this we can make sure that the FPU state is only flushed to
the thread struct when it is really needed.

The math.c is only built when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is enabled.
So the #ifdef check for CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION in it seems redundant.
Drop all of them.

The math.c is only built when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is enabled.
So we would never get into the case that CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION
is not defined in this file.

The decoding of some instructions such as fsqrt{s} was incorrect,
using the wrong registers, and thus could not work.
This fixes it and also adds a couple of place holders for missing
instructions.

The math emulation code is centered around a set of generic macros that
provide the core of the emulation that are shared by the various
architectures and other projects (like glibc). Each arch implements its
own sfp-machine.h to specific various arch specific details.
For historic reasons that are now lost the powerpc math-emu code had
its own version of the common headers. This moves us to using the
kernel generic version and thus getting fixes when those are updated.
Also cleaned up exception/error reporting from the FP emulation functions.

We are going to change where the floating point registers are stored
in the thread_struct, so in preparation add some macros to access the
floating point registers. Update all code to use these new macros.

Its legal for the stfiwx instruction to have RA = 0 as part of its
effective address calculation. This is illegal for all other XE
form instructions.
Add code to compute the proper effective address for stfiwx if
RA = 0 rather than treating it as illegal.

Towards the goal of having arch/powerpc not build anything over in arch/ppc
move math-emu over. Also, killed some references to arch/ppc/ in the
arch/powerpc Makefile which should belong in drivers/ when the particular
sub-arch's move over to arch/powerpc.
