Shan Hai afc0a07d4a powerpc/85xx: Fix SPE float to integer conversion failure
Conversion from float to integer should based on both the instruction
encoding and the sign of the operand.

A simple testcase to show the issue:

static float fm;
static signed int si_min = (-2147483647 - 1);
static unsigned int ui;
int main()
{
       fm = (float) si_min; ;
       ui = (unsigned int)fm;
       printf("ui=%d, should be %d\n", ui, si_min);

       return 0;
}
Result: ui=-1, should be -2147483648

Liu Yu ac6f120369 powerpc/85xx: Workaroudn e500 CPU erratum A005
This erratum can occur if a single-precision floating-point,
double-precision floating-point or vector floating-point instruction on a
mispredicted branch path signals one of the floating-point data interrupts
which are enabled by the SPEFSCR (FINVE, FDBZE, FUNFE or FOVFE bits).  This
interrupt must be recorded in a one-cycle window when the misprediction is
resolved.  If this extremely rare event should occur, the result could be:

The SPE Data Exception from the mispredicted path may be reported
erroneously if a single-precision floating-point, double-precision
floating-point or vector floating-point instruction is the second
instruction on the correct branch path.

According to errata description, some efp instructions which are not
supposed to trigger SPE exceptions can trigger the exceptions in this case.
However, as we haven't emulated these instructions here, a signal will
send to userspace, and userspace application would exit.

This patch re-issue the efp instruction that we haven't emulated,
so that hardware can properly execute it again if this case happen.

Liu Yu 6a800f36ac powerpc: Add SPE/EFP math emulation for E500v1/v2 processors.
This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions.
The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic,
when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt.

This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu.

The code has been tested by TestFloat.

Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation
(it won't be called when receive program interrupt),
but it could be easily added.
