[PATCH] powerpc: Add VDSO version of getcpu

We had a request for a fast method of getting CPU and NUMA node IDs
from userspace. Ben suggested we use SPRG3 which is userspace
readable. This is a quick hack to try that out.
I have a glibc patch to implement sched_getcpu using this. Testing
on a POWER7:
baseline: 538 cycles
vdso: 30 cycles

Outstanding issues:
- Do we have any KVM issues?
- This will only work with 64 bit kernels for now, do we need to come up
with a scheme for 32 bit?
- Implement 32 bit userspace version (running on 64 bit kernels)
