dc4fbba11e powerpc: Create disable_kernel_{fp,altivec,vsx,spe}() 
The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled
until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions
that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE.

While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons
(MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that
does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

5f76eea88d sched/preempt, powerpc: Disable preemption in enable_kernel_altivec() explicitly 
enable_kernel_altivec() has to be called with disabled preemption.
Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not
touching preemption anymore.

fde69282b7 powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced prefetch 
Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced
prefetch instructions. We use enhanced prefetch hints to prefetch
both the load and store side. We copy a cacheline at a time and
fall back to regular loads and stores if we are unable to use VMX
(eg we are in an interrupt).

The following microbenchmark was used to assess the impact of
the patch:

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/page_fault_file.c

We test MAP_PRIVATE page faults across a 1GB file, 100 times:

# time ./page_fault_file -p -l 1G -i 100

Before: 22.25s
After:  18.89s

17% faster

6f7839e542 powerpc: Rename copyuser_power7_vmx.c to vmx-helper.c 
Subsequent patches will add more VMX library functions and it makes
sense to keep all the c-code helper functions in the one file.
