de79f7b9f6 powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures
This creates new 'thread_fp_state' and 'thread_vr_state' structures
to store FP/VSX state (including FPSCR) and Altivec/VSX state
(including VSCR), and uses them in the thread_struct.  In the
thread_fp_state, the FPRs and VSRs are represented as u64 rather
than double, since we rarely perform floating-point computations
on the values, and this will enable the structures to be used
in KVM code as well.  Similarly FPSCR is now a u64 rather than
a structure of two 32-bit values.

This takes the offsets out of the macros such as SAVE_32FPRS,
REST_32FPRS, etc.  This enables the same macros to be used for normal
and transactional state, enabling us to delete the transactional
versions of the macros.   This also removes the unused do_load_up_fpu
and do_load_up_altivec, which were in fact buggy since they didn't
create large enough stack frames to account for the fact that
load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are not designed to be called from C
and assume that their caller's stack frame is an interrupt frame.

564ee7a566 [PATCH] powerpc: Move arch/ppc*/kernel/vecemu.c to arch/powerpc
This file is the same in both architectures so create arch/powerpc/kernel
and move it there.
