This patch adds SPR number for TAR, PPR, DSCR special
purpose registers. It also adds TM, VSX, VMX related
instructions which will then be used by patches later
in the series.
Now that the new DSCR register definitions (SPRN_DSCR_PRIV and
SPRN_DSCR) are defined outside this directory, use them instead.

Two DSCR tests have a hack in them:
/*
* XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR
* current value is copied into the thread struct
* which is required for the child to inherit the
* changed value.
*/
sleep(1);
We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug.
Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we
had in the thread struct at last context switch.

This patch adds a test to update the system wide DSCR value repeatedly
and then verifies that any thread on any given CPU on the system must be
able to see the same DSCR value whether its is being read through the
problem state based SPR or the privilege state based SPR.

This test continuously updates the system wide DSCR default value in the
sysfs interface and makes sure that the same is reflected across all the
sysfs interfaces for each individual CPUs present on the system.

This patch adds a test case to verify that the changed DSCR value inside
any process would be inherited to it's child across the fork and exec
system call.

This patch adds a test which verifies that the DSCR privilege and
problem state SPR read & write accesses while making sure that the
results are always the same irrespective of which SPR number is being
used.

This patch adds a test which modifies the DSCR using mtspr instruction
and verifies the change using mfspr instruction. It uses both the
privilege state SPR as well as the problem state SPR for the purpose.

This patch adds a test case for the system wide DSCR default value,
which when changed through it's sysfs interface must be visible to all
threads reading DSCR either through the privilege state SPR or the
problem state SPR. The DSCR value change should be immediate as well.
