[Cbe-oss-dev] [RFC] spufs: add a phys-id attribute to each SPU context

For performance analysis, it is often interesting to know
which physical SPE a thread is currently running on, and,
more importantly, if it is running at all.

This patch adds a simple attribute to each SPU directory
with that information.
The attribute is read-only and called 'phys-id'. It contains
an ascii string with the number of the physical SPU (e.g.
"0x5"), or alternatively the string "0xffffffff" (32 bit -1)
when it is not running at all at the time that the file
is read.
