Subject: powerpc: Randomise lower bits of stack address

Randomise the lower bits of the stack address. More randomisation is good for
security but the scatter can also help with SMT threads that share an L1. A
quick test case shows this working:

int main()
{
	int sp;
	printf("%x\n", (unsigned long)&sp & 4095);
}

before:
80
80
80
80
80

after:
610
490
300
6b0
d80
