  to come such as transactional memory support but that will wait for
  the next one.

Don't use 47x only #defines for TLBIVAX or ICBT, supply and use helpers
in ppc-opcode.h

This fixes a compile breakage.

<title>powerpc: Add denormalisation exception handling for POWER6/7</title>

<id>b92a66a65cb4480774066d9a3080c77eb34b7232</id>
<content type='text'>
On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a
denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take
a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor
(HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run.

This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and
POWER7.

It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in
pseries/ppc64_defconfig.

This is useful on bare metal systems only.  Based on patch from Milton
Miller.

Some macros use RA where when RA=R0 the values is 0, so make this
the enforced mnemonic in the macro.

Idea suggested by Andreas Schwab.

R0-R31 macros are removed here so that can't be used anymore.  They

<title>powerpc: Start using ___PPC_RA/B/S/T where necessary</title>

Now have ___PPC_RA/B/S/T we can use it in some places.  These are
places where we can't use the existing defines which will soon enforce
R0-R31 usage.

The macros being changed here are being used in inline asm, which
can't convert to enforce the R0-R31 usage.

bpf_jit uses a mix of both generated and non-generated with the same
code, so just convert all these to use the ___PPC_R versions which
won't enforce R usage later.
