On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel.  Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.

This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.

Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.

The `have_of' variable is a relic from the arch/ppc time, it isn't
useful nowadays.

This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions.
The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic,
when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt.

This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu.

The code has been tested by TestFloat.

Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation
(it won't be called when receive program interrupt),
but it could be easily added.

from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where &lt;asm-powepc/...&gt; was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
