Subject: Enable SPU switch notification to detect currently active SPU tasks.

From: Maynard Johnson <maynardj at us.ibm.com>, Carl Love <carll at us.ibm.com>

This repost contains the change to move the notify_active flag from ctx->spu to ctx as 
discussed and agreed to by Arnd on 1/30/07.  This patch is dependent on the series of SPU 
patches from Christopher Hellwig.

This patch adds to the capability of spu_switch_event_register so that the
caller is also notified of currently active SPU tasks.  It also exports
spu_switch_event_register and spu_switch_event_unregister.
