2015-12-01	powerpc: Create disable_kernel_{fp,altivec,vsx,spe}()	Anton Blanchard
	The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE. While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons (MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

2013-10-30	powerpc: Add VMX optimised xor for RAID5	Anton Blanchard
	Add a VMX optimised xor, used primarily for RAID5. On a POWER7 blade this is a decent win: 32regs : 17932.800 MB/sec altivec : 19724.800 MB/sec The bigger gain is when the same test is run in SMT4 mode, as it would if there was a lot of work going on: 8regs : 8377.600 MB/sec altivec : 15801.600 MB/sec I tested this against an array created without the patch, and also verified it worked as expected on a little endian kernel.
