Hi!

Linux 4.7.x introduced another regression on powerpcspe due to the use of
unsupported assembly instructions [1]:

/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.S: Assembler messages:
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.S:5: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ld'
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.S:10: Error: unrecognized opcode: `ld'
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:331: recipe for target 'arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.o' failed
make[6]: *** [arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.o] Error 1

This is very reminiscent of #823526 [2] which also used some FPU instructions
not available on powerpcspe/e500. And, indeed, like "ldarx" and "stdcx", "ld"
is not available on e500 either [3] (see p. 3-68).

I haven't looked at the code yet, but I assume guarding the code with some
additional #ifdef's should fix the issue the same way as in #823526.

Thanks,
Adrian
