	This patch series adds five new ELF core note sections which can be
used with existing ptrace request PTRACE_GETREGSET-SETREGSET for accessing
various transactional memory and miscellaneous debug register sets on PowerPC
platform.

Previous versions:
==================
RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/292
V1:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/43
V2:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/5/88
V3:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/23/486

Changes in V4:
--------------
- Added one test program into the powerpc selftest bucket in this regard
- Split the 2nd patch in the previous series into four different patches
- Accommodated most of the review comments on the previous patch series
- Added a patch to merge functions __switch_to_tm and tm_reclaim_task

Changes in V3:
--------------
- Added two new error paths in every TM related get/set functions when regset
  support is not present on the system (ENODEV) or when the process does not
  have any transaction active (ENODATA) in the context
- Installed the active hooks for all the newly added regset core note types

Changes in V2:
--------------
- Removed all the power specific ptrace requests corresponding to new NT_PPC_*
  elf core note types. Now all the register sets can be accessed from ptrace
  through PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET using the individual NT_PPC* core
  note type instead
- Fixed couple of attribute values for REGSET_TM_CGPR register set
- Renamed flush_tmreg_to_thread as flush_tmregs_to_thread
- Fixed 32 bit checkpointed GPR support
- Changed commit messages accordingly

Test Result
-----------
The patch series has been verified both in 32 bit and 64 bit compiled mode.
Test result for the selftest test (64 bit compiled mode) can be found here.
