All -

These are patches based on next to support the forthcoming ldmx instruction
through the existing P8 EBB infrastructure. Obviously it doesn't actually
*work* without some other patches and a P9 system, but with the context
switch change to FSCR it makes sense to get this upstream for testing ASAP.

The first patch context switches FSCR per thread so that the second patch can
lazily enable this feature (FSCR.LM) with a facility unavailable exception
and context switch two new ldmx registers (LMRR / LMSER) per thread as well.
Third patch is a couple of basic tests.

Any comments welcome.

Second spin of these patches:

https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2016-April/141609.html

Differences from v1:

- As part of the FSCR context switch patch, remove extra FSCR manipulation in
  the DSCR case. If anything set FSCR.DSCR it should automatically be set
  correctly now. If I understand correctly, dscr_inherit is still required
  however and covers the < P8 case.

- Minor assembly readability clean up suggested by Segher (thanks!)

Any further comments or concerns welcome.
