[PATCH 11/18] powerpc: Make assembly endian agnostic when accessing 64bit values

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au1.ibm.com>

The 32bit PowerPC ABI states that when passing arguments and return
values via registers a value of type long long is stored in pairs of
registers as follows:

The lower addressed word is stored in the next available odd numbered
register and the higher addressed value is stored in register+1.

i.e. the values will either be stored in the next available of:
r3/r4, r5/r6, r7/r8 or r9/r10

Since the lower addressed value must be in the lower register number we
have an endianness issue and need to treat this specially in any
assembly that is passed or returns a 64bit value.

This patch introduces some aliases in ppc_asm.h which will select the
appropriate register from the pair depending on the CPU endianness.
There are in the form of r34l for the low word from the r3/r4 pair and
r34h for the high word and so on for the remaining register pairs.

It also introduces p64l and p64h which can be used to select the
appropriate offset whenever loading a 32bit word while referring to the
address of a 64bit value. For instance if r3 contains the address of a
64bit value the following assembly would load the high word into r5 and
the low word into r6 regardless of endianness:
	lwz	r5,p64h(r3)
	lwz	r6,p64l(r3)

Finally, the patch also alters the functions in misc_32.S that take
64bit arguments to use these new accessors to work on the little endian
PowerPC architecture:

mulhdu, __div64_32, __ashrdi3, __ashldi3, __lshrdi3 and __ucmpdi2
