Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.

This will print out the Memory Subsystem Status Register on MPC745x (G4+ class),
and the Machine Check Status Register on Book-E class CPUs, to aid in debugging
machine checks. Other relevant registers, for other CPUs, can be added in the
future.
This also fixes asserts on removal of the module for the mpc74xx.
The PowerPC 970 processors have two different types of events: direct events
and indirect events. Thus far only direct events are supported. I included
some documentation in the driver on how indirect events work, but support is
for the future.

Bring PPC4XX defines (PSL, SPR, TLB). Note the new definitions under
BOOKE_PPC4XX are not used in the code yet.
This change set is not supposed to affect existing E500 support, it's just
another reorg step before bringing support for E500mc, E5500 and PPC465.

o In bare_probe(), change the logic that determines the maximum
number of processors/cores into a switch statement and take
advantage of the fact that bit 3 of the SVR value indicates
whether we're running on a security enabled version. Since we
don't care about that here, mask the bit. All -E versions
are taken care of automatically.
Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.
at least on my Xserve, getting the decrementer and timebase on APs to tick
requires setting up a clock chip over I2C, which is not yet done.
While here, correct the 64-bit tlbie function to set the CPU to 64-bit
mode correctly.

NOTE: This undoes some changes I'd made to prefix the processor name defines
with PVR_. This was due to my original decision to use MPC750 as a cpu name.
With this changed, the PVR_ change is no longer required.
Highlights include:
- New low-level trap code from NetBSD. The high level code still needs a lot
of work.
- Fixes for some pmap handling in thread switching.
- The kernel will now get to attempting to jump into init in user mode. There
are some pmap/trap issues which prevent it from actually getting there though.
