This adds a test to verify proper functioning of the rfi flush
capability implemented to mitigate meltdown. The test works by
measuring the number of L1d cache misses encountered while loading
data from memory. Across a system call, since the L1d cache is flushed
when rfi_flush is enabled, the number of cache misses is expected to
be relative to the number of cachelines corresponding to the data
being loaded.
The current system setting is reflected via powerpc/rfi_flush under
debugfs (assumed to be /sys/kernel/debug/). This test verifies the
expected result with rfi_flush enabled as well as when it is disabled.

Some of our selftests have only been tested on ppc64le and crash or
behave weirdly on ppc64/ppc32. So add a helper for checking the UTS
machine.

Refactor the AUXV routines so they are more composable. In a future test
we want to look for many AUXV entries and we don't want to have to read
/proc/self/auxv each time.

There are some functions, especially register related, which can
be shared across multiple selftests/powerpc test directories.
This patch creates a new include directory to store those shared
files, so that the file layout becomes more neat.
