powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward
compatibility is maintained.
The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.
