Anton Blanchard b1576fec7f powerpc: No need to use dot symbols when branching to a function
binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.

Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

Michael Neuling c75df6f96c powerpc: Fix usage of register macros getting ready for %r0 change
Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h),
need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work.

Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset
(usually for a load/store), like:
	std	r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1)
Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since
it's just calculating an offset.

Anton Blanchard b5f9b6665b powerpc: Hardcode popcnt instructions for old assemblers
The popcnt instructions went into binutils relatively recently. As with a
number of other instructions, create macros and hardcode them.

Anton Blanchard 64ff312876 powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructions
POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step
this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement
them as inlines with an out of line fallback.

The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large
(192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.
